(Characters have) Self-possession and an uncompromising sense of purpose. combined godlike attributes, and a purely human flesh-and-blood intensity --New York Times A Magnificent Broadway Smash Hit! --Talking Broadway Ingeniously designed backdrop generates spontaneous applause --The Hollywood Reporter A Broadway Musical with passion as much as Verdis Opera --Chicago Sun-Times Rave Review for Aida

"An appealing soft-rock score by Elton John and Tim Rice. Rice's soulful lyrics are a perfect complement to John's luscious melodies." -- Time Magazine "What you will find is Elton John's lovely melodies, catchy hooks, bittersweet ballads, and delicious harmonies." -- The New Yorker

"AIDA is not opera. It's truly a pop musical with spoken dialogue and all kinds of recognizable song types: urban-based rhythm and blues, gospel inspired songs, ballads and, of course, Crocodile Rock songs." Elton John Aida provides me a valuable chance. The lyric serves not only the role and synopsis, but also my persevered faith. You will expect that your feeling strikes a responsive chord among all the audience when this chance comes. And the audience would say yes, I understand, and I believe after they listen to the lyrics. Tim Rice The story describes the people walking in the thread between personal emotions and political responsibility, and the love beyond hate and common customs. Love can ignite change, eventually the huge social transform. I hope I can bring more beauty of complex and ambiguity by my best. David Henry Hwang Rave Review for Aida
