IT IS RARE that you see the finest of acting equipped with equally fine art and technology as in the LIONBOY. Adapted from a children's book about a boy who speaks cats and is on a mission to rescue his kidnapped parents, the play is a pure eye-candy with vivid screenplays and choreography. The play starts on a decent note of the characters introducing themselves and then move slowly towards revealing the plot. Charlie Ashanti, a boy of mixed race, is our hero. As we move through the plot, we realize that Charlie's greatest struggle is not just rescuing his kidnapped parents, but also to end the evil reign of the Corporacy. Towards the end of the play, we find Charlie reuniting with his parents with the Corporacy setting down in the background.
