I went to the show on my birthday thinking it would be something cool to do and I am so glad I did. The show was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The dancing and special effects I'd have to say were my favorite. I 100% recommend seeing the Lion King.
I expected more from this show. Some of performers did not had good voice and some songs you barely can hear what they are singing. The popular songs could have been more engage with audience.
As a frequent theatre goer who always wanted to see Lion King for years, I was very excited to finally go. I found the performance bland and the singing unmemorable. It was disappointing.
Last year I wanted to go but it was sold out. But this year , I decided to go. Hint: get your ticket before the play online or at the ticket master. tickets not guaranty on the day of the show. I was not disappointed at all. I am planning to bring my family again. Great show for people of every age, never seen a play or first timer. Can be a great gift. Love it.
Everything was really good from the music, technology to story
The play was simply AMAZING!!!!!! I LOVE the fact that the actors were actually in the audience during the performance..... The costumes and masks were remarkable. I especially LOVED all the jokes that were told though out the show.
Was a magic! So colorful, so exiting, great costumes, perfect performers, bright mood and spirit! Unforgettable! <3
Amazing costumes and music, surrounding an already known history, but one that reaches to maintain de strenght during the entire play.
This was my first visit to NYC for a show. And WOW, what a show! The costumes, the cast and crew... everything was more than I would have ever expected. I was hesitant to spend that much money for tickets but am so glad now that I did! You will NOT regret it !!
I saw Lion King a few years ago and decided to see it again during the Broadway Week promotion. Good prices for good seats. The show againg was fenomenal! Bright and vivid colorful costumes and decorations on stage. Beautifully made animals costumes. Great actors play. Hopefully in few years will come back here again. You can never get tired of it!
It was a awesome experience. For me, the show captured the culture of S. Africa. I spent several months working as a geologist in Botswana on a water supply project for the Village of Maun and it brought back fond memories of that adventure. I especially loved the actress and character of Rafiki who spoke in a native tongue. The costumes and makeup were just incredible. The giraffes and the hyenas were the best.
It was so amazing. I will book again if i go to NYC next time.
I waited a month and a half in order to get front seats. These actors are truly amazing. They all sing like angels. The acting, special effects, all was spectacular!
Beautiful visuals with mixed performance by actors I wouldn't Recommend if over 12
As a non-enthusiast for plays... All I can say is WOW.... Amazing show.The actors, music and stage decoration make this show come alive. A huge recommendation, a must do whilst at NYC!!!
best play i have ever seen in my entire life, between the music, staging, lighting, costumes, dancing it was beautiful. To see the reaction of my family was the greatest gift any one can ask for. it was beautiful.
Lion King was so amazing! If you get a chance to see a Broadway show, this one should definitely be at the top of your list. The set design, musical talent, artistic depiction of the animals, wit of the play in general... I could go on and on!
Spectacular Show! Everyone should able to experience this show.....the cast did a phenomenal job!
Great show for kids and adults. I might not bring a child under 7 years old but that might be because I'm an 'old fashioned' 60 something. My wife and I attended and sat in Mezzanine. What a show! Great costumes, singing, dancing and uplifting story-line. Totally entertained. Don't miss this show!
Finally took my daughter to see it for her 25th birthday. This is one of the best production we have seen!!!
