Wife and I saw a production of this musical. The musical, by Elton John and Tim Rice, is based on the Verdi opera of the same name. While the opera was in Italian & performed in for acts this musical was written in English and performed in two. The basic plot is the same.
The cast and crew are, in this production, junior and senior high school students. Everyone who performed in this production were capable or better. We personally felt at least some of them should have been using a microphone. The young woman who played Aida reflected training and skill. There was lots of energy.
Were we glad we went? Yes. We got to see one of our grandsons do his part. Did we feel we got our money's worth? Based on the whole performance, yes.
Best.
