Compared to Heather Hedley in the original score the understudy lead did a great job as Aida - stole the show for sure. Radames vocals seemed like they could use more. Not a bad seat in the house at Drury Lane Theatre...will most likely will see another show at the venue.

This play was just there. There was nothing bad about it and nothing good about it. Two of the three leads didn't always hit their notes. There were not songs of routines that you went "wow" over. I will definitely NOT spend my money to see this again and wish I read some reviews before I went.'

It was the same great show I saw on Broadway but MINUS the spectacular costumes, awe inspiring vocals and creative scene/stage changes. I love the story line, very much a Romeo and Juliet set in ancient Egypt. However I must admit I was expecting the same calibur show as I saw in New York and Chicago and was very disappointed when it wasn't. I should have guessed there would be cut backs when I saw the ticket pricing. If you haven't seen it before then you'll be pleasantly surprised, but if you get the opportunity to see it on Broadway then don't hesitate! It was my favorite show (on broadway).

Expecting a mediocre show, I was surprised with Aida. The story among lovers was enchanting and the singing was just wonderful. Additionally, the show was not too long, which was convenient.

On average the show is enjoyable. I was really disappointed by the acting which isn't really up to the level you might expect, to me it sounded more like ranting than acting. The music is good and the singing was a little weak compared to the level of the music (sometime it was really hard to understand the words of the songs). The costumes were good. And the dancing was just great (choreography is wonderful and the dancers are really good).
When everything is added it comes out as an average but enjoyable show.

AIDA at Drury Lane left us disappointed. The story is mediocre, and the music, while upbeat does not compare to other Elton John music. The lead had a great voice, but other voices were just OK, and the dancing could use improvement.

I took my 10 yr. old daughter for a daddy-daughter day and we had a blast! We had front row tickets so were able to see all the wonderful actors close up. The show was just Great! Dancing, singing, acting was all first rate. We loved Aida and will make a tradition of seeing shows at Drury Lane.

Not all bad - it is an awesome musical - very well done by Elton John and Tim Rice, however, this was far from a Broadway performance. I did not expect the set to be like Broadway, but I did expect the singers, choreography, and costumes to be better. If they would only listen to the original soundtrack and if they had seen the Broadway show, they could have made many improvements without a lot of expense and without being a complete copy. By the way - where were the French Horns ??? They should have a least tried to mimic them with with the keyboard

Loved Aida; the singing was first class and the actors made the play as entertaining as any I have seen this season; the love triangle may have been set in Egypt but it could have been anywhere--tragic yet so interesting and contemporary a story; every age group can have fun seeing this performance; though the subject of balancing personal love & desire with family loyalty and obligations to country dominated, there was a lot of humor in this play and a stunning ending.
