The production values are sky-high in London, and from the various interviews, it sounds like they're aiming even higher here. However, it's still a nearly three-hour play with lots of dialogue between the magic/action, and if you haven't seen the tv show, I'm not sure this is worth the money and time. I don't know if you'd be lost as it's a prequel that sets itself up, but there's so much fan service in there regarding the characters, and there are twists that only work as twists if you know the show. I'd try having him watch the show first. If he doesn't get into it at all, he probably won't like the stage show.
