    Awesomeness

    by Tekinha on 3/31/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    The play is beyond any expectations one can have! We couldn’t even blink an eye afraid we’d miss a scene. The music, the actors, the wardrobe... the whole play from beginning to the end was wonderful!

    Have seen better productions off

    by M on 3/31/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    Have see lion king touring company productions twice before — 6 and 8 years ago. Both were much more exciting and captivating. Overall how this is staged is flat. This show is all about the visuals - the costumes and the sets. The stage at the Minskoff seemed small and often was bear except for a rock. This is a great show but not this production of it. See it elsewhere.

    Everything I hoped it would be!

    by A. H. on 3/28/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    UH-MAZING! It was everything I hoped it would be! My daughter and I celebrated her 10th birthday with a special girls' trip to NYC, with Broadway shows as our focus. I was moved from the very beginning of this show to the very last moment. In fact, I shed tears, at the start, as the animals began entering the theater. I am so thankful we were able to see and experience this show together. The music was mind-blowing and we will not soon forget how wonderful this show was.

    Simply Amazing

    by Cali on 3/27/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    We sat center orchestra the view is incredible. The cast story line all more then worth the cost. Will at some point go back to see other plays. But we truly loved the lion king

    Eh, it was okay

    by Traveler on 3/27/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    For the money it was okay. I would recommend Lion King if the tickets were like $80. But as it is, I would not recommend. I paid $177 each for my family of four. There was nothing spectacular about it. My 6 year old was bored but he's high energy so I'm sure lots of other 6 year olds might enjoy it. My 9 year old girl was indifferent.

    Beautiful

    by K. on 3/26/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    Beautiful. Beautiful from beginning to end. Sat on the edge of my seat, and although the story is known, there were so many surprises throughout the show. Loved every minute

    Wow!!!

    by Mimi on 3/25/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    Wow! I was blown away with The Lion King. It’s now officially my favorite musical. I was so proud to be a South African hearing Zulu, Xhosa, and Sotho languages. Each cast member was brilliant, the singing perfectly in tune, costumes amazing and the set design spectacular. The humor and comedic timing was excellent, as was having the actors walk in the isles to involve the audience. I totally recommended seeing this show for anyone visiting NYC!!!

    Excellent Show

    by ACY Traveler on 3/25/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    Our first time seeing a live show on Broadway, this show was beyond our expectations. It was well worth the price of admission, the performers were very talented, the sound was crystal clear and the live music added to the overall experience. It is a must see show

    My experience

    by C. G. on 3/24/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    I had a bit of problems booking online; had to apply 5+ times to get seats which isn’t optimal. On the day of the show, the tickets wouldn’t appear online so had to go to the box office to sort it out which was pretty quick but again not optimally. The show itself was amazing!!!
