    Worth checking out

    by ASit on 10/9/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    First time broadway goer. Wife wanted to see The Lion King for her birthday so away we went. The sets were engaging and well done. Costumes were great. The orchestra was fantastic and some actors had some solid vocal performance (a few not so much). Some acting performances were superb (Tshidi Manye as Rafiki, Fred Beman as Timon) and others not so much. Bradley Gibson’s portrayal of Simba stood out of a performance that was quite disappointing/distracting.

    Great Entertainment

    by Barry B on 10/9/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    This show was a wonderful experience for my grandkids and for me. It was very creative - the depiction of the animals and the special effects were excellent. Of course, the story and the music were very enjoyable.

    A strong, vivid musical

    by Doug Silva on 10/9/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    From the costumes and engineering work to represent animals, to the uniqueness of an african strong drumming pattern, it was a great show overall. Expressions of dance, anger, love and comedy were also all there, as expected in a high quality Broadway show. I highly recommend this show for anyone.

    Spectacularly immersive

    by Krystal Lynn on 10/2/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    The theater is decked out in The Lion King everything both outside and inside ceiling to floor which makes for a dazzling entrance. All of the performers (actors, singers, dancers, ballerinas, musicians, etc.) were top and on point; it was a great mix of many artistic professions yet symbiotic and easy to follow. When they dressed as animals and entered the stage from the back of the theater it made for a wonderfully immersive experience. There were quite a few moments when an emotional response was appropriately expressed by the audience and some individuals happily sang along. My seats were Orchestra F105-106 and the view was unobstructed from all angles (some performers appeared on the balconies). Overall, The Lion King was spectacular, a must-see for all ages, and I’d absolutely love to go to it again.
