    Lackluster

    by Simmie on 11/4/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    I was very disappointed . This is my 4th and last time seeing The Lion King. I'm assuming the cast were understudy's because the voices and performances weren't good. I found it pretty odd they added a go-go club scene during the "Be Prepared" scene. They also added a scene that was completely random and unaligned with the story. Timon was hanging from a branch that was hanging over a water-fall/river and there were alligators at the bottom snapping at him and then he suddenly falls into the river. Definitely out of place. I'm happy I saw the show prior to this because I would've likely walked out.

    disappointment

    by Sabine Marie on 11/2/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    A real disappointment. I watched this musical 5 times. The 4 other times were amazing in Paris and London. I wanted To watch it in NYC for the 5th times, what I did...the show is still nice, very well prepared but what a bad prestation from the monkey...bad voice..the monkey representant was much better played in London. What is more the representant of Muphasa still asked for money at the end for donation....the price of the place is very expensive: 127 dollars...it is a shame!

    Average Performance

    by Athena J on 10/30/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    It was my 3rd show. The 1st 2 were amazing, the 2nd one was last year and the 1st in 2015. This 3rd show was Average. The young man playing Simba was Average. His singing left alot to be desired. Also, i did not like the couple new songs added to this performance. I was disappointed. I took my new husband to the show become he had always wanted to see it. I didnt express my disappointment to him because i didn't want to mar his experience, but for those of us who had seen it before, it was sub par.

    Awesome Experience

    by Dede on 10/29/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    Got tickets for my son 16th birthday. Sulky teenager who'd rather be any where but he became a 6 years old boy from the opening scene. He was singing along and applauding. His face made me the happiest mother ever. I highly recommend seeing this musical. I will be definitely seeing this again. Worth every single penny.

    A MUST SEE SHOW!!!!!! AMAZING!!!

    by J. C. on 10/29/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    This show was amazing from the costume designs, to the actors and actresses, the stage design, the realization of animal and I can keep going on. The way they brought the animal to life with movement and sound. Wow!! I was totally impressed by the elephant and the giraffe, OMG!!! The dancers were all amazing, everyone was so in sync and coordinated together. I really want to know what glue they used to keep that mask head on, because that head had no movement at all. Throughout the spins and jumping and turns. The orchestra and conductor did an outstanding job. I heard every instrument clearly. Lead violin great job!!!! The choir, what a great job. This show, showcase so many different talents it’s hard to pinpoint a favorite. The stage crew and light crew, I would like to give credit to because you made the show. This was my daughter 1st Broadway show for her birthday and this show made her day!!! Keep up the good work. This show is worth every penny and more paid.
