    Fantastical

    by Sumac on 9/23/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    Lion King was AMAZING. Costumes were incredible, performances were incredible, the way they move through the audience was great. Not a bad seat in the Minskoff Theater. My son grew up with Lion King and the play did not disappoint to the original.

    Good, not great

    by KP on 9/23/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    I really enjoyed the show and it was a good performance. I say it was not great because I saw the Lion King when it first came out and that performance was amazing. You saw every actor giving 110 percent and this time around it seemed everyone was going with the flow.

    King of Broadway!!

    by scott on 9/18/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    Extraordinary show!!! We were blown away by all the costumes, actor's, dancers, and majesty of the play itself. Would not want to ruin it for those who have not seen it with all the lavish details and suprises. What i can say is what you've heard is true. This is the best of what theater and broadway in NYC have to offer. Highly recommend, five stars.

    Life expecperience

    by NH Giddy on 9/18/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    How do describe something that is elegantly creatively perfect? I was a mesmerized child, young and captivated by magic. I am old and gray and have seen much. But this was joy, gratitude and creativity captured and released, shared and held onto. I had large expectations and all were met and exceeded. Thank you.

    I’m usually moved to tears by musicals. I was not with this one. I was a bit disappointed.
