For over two decades, the touring production’s visual tapestry has enchanted audiences across North America and continues to be a “must-see” live event, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Wonderful show. Just as good as when we saw it 12 years ago.
The "puppets"are amazing and their puppeteers seem to disappear even when totally visible. Fantastic play for children/adults of all ages, my autistic grandson loved it. Do not miss this production.
Best play, have seen it at least 5 times! The costuming and choreography is amazing!!!
We had great seats to take in the full range of music and creative genius of the director. The performance far exceeded my expectations, which were high to start with. Would love to see it again sometime.
The Lion King (Touring) was a masterpiece! The costumes, set, singing, dancing, and acting were all stunning! I brought my eight year old son and am so excited I was able to experience such a beautiful show with him.
This was my fifth time seeing The Lion King. Once on Broadway, 4 times in Minnesota. I have brought my children, grandchildren and now recently, my “of the heart” family. My daughters think I should begin the rotation again! It simply is one of the best shows ever.
This musical play is a masterpiece! Not only for your eyes and ears but for your soul.
This is our second time seeing this, fist time many years ago in New York and we would see this again and again! Just spectacular!
The only reason it gets 4 stars is because the first scene with pumbaa and Timon, the pumbaa mic didn’t work and so none of the jokes were heard and it was a real bummer because that scene is fantastic but I can’t go below 4 stars because it’s an amazing show - I think everyone else should give it 5 stars just bummer for us but seriously it’s so good
The performance was fantastic. The steals are small and tight. My seat had really cold air blowing from below it.
This is by far the best musical production I have ever seen! I would highly recommend! The actors were so good! Even the way they moved like the animals they were portraying showed their amazing talent! Great show!
I brought my grandsons to see this musical. They were positively riveted. It was a marvelous experience. The theatre could have been larger. The seats were small and uncomfortable. Otherwise it was a marvelous family outing
A fabulous performance. Enjoyed all but the seating. Wish there was a guarantee that if you pay a lot for tickets you could see the stage over the high hair in front of you.
It definitely was good but I feel it lacked a little vigor. I saw it the first time in 1997 and have seen it 5 times total. I feel it’s a little too commercial Disney spin on it.
I had the most amazing experience that sent me to the moon and back. The show was phenomenal!!!!
The costumes were phenomenal! The voices were breathtaking! The stage was amazing.
My grandson and I had an awesome time at this musical! This show was phenomenal! We had great seats to see all the spectacular costumes...come to life! I look forward to attending again.
The show was fabulous, however, there were sound issues. The mics didn't seem to pick up dialog well, and the air exchange system at the venue was loud enough to have been very distracting, making the dialog more difficult to understand. After waiting so long to see this experience, it would have been better without the noisy air. And people getting up and leaving amd coming back to their seats multiple times during the performance. They should be held till a break in the action to be reseated.
It was beyond my expectations. Visually stunning. The music, the actors - everything was perfect. The effects they created were breathtaking. I'd see it again in a heartbeat. The only thing I would say is, if you want to bring your kids, know that this is not like the movie. Nobody in a lion suit is going to show up. Many of the kids around us seemed to not enjoy it much or understand. Older kids did, but the young ones seemed bored.
Such a wonderful show, the costumes, the lighting, the talent, the music, it was fantastic. Go if you have never seen it. You need to go and see this live on stage.
