    I went two years ago and the acting and dramatic effects were very noticeably it was much better two years ago I think they changed the cast and the quality is noticeable the ending was rushed and I didn’t think it was as great as before

  • Worth checking out

    by ASit on 10/9/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    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.

  • Amazing loved the sets and costumes.

    by Barry B on 10/9/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    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.

  • Wonderful show

  • A strong, vivid musical

    by Doug Silva on 10/9/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    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.

  • Awesome show for the entire family!

    by Bill on 10/9/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    The Lion King is a great experience for the entire family! From the moment you enter the theater until the show closes, the audience is captivated by the sounds, actors and costumes. It seems to get better every time we see the show! Thank you

    It felt to me like every seat in the house was a great seat! For a sold out show it didn't feel crowded. The visual experience was amazing. We had a great time! 100 percent recommend this show!

  • Spectacularly immersive

    by Krystal Lynn on 10/2/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    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.
