    by Tsuzane on 9/11/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    From beginning to end the presentation will leave you mesmerized. The special attention to details will keep you intrigued wondering to yourself, how did they do that...the acting and musical song along with the messaging of courage was heartwarming.

    EXCELLANT

    by R. on 9/11/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    I have seen the Lion King many times at other theaters. This is the first in NYC. I thought the people who played Timon, Zazu, and Scar were stand-outs!! They played their characters so well. The opening scene was also done very well.

    Excellent for children and adults alike

    by FLL Visitor on 9/4/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    This show was superb! The costumes blew us away and our four-year-old loved being able to sing along (quietly) to the songs she already knew. The sound was excellent and seats in the Mezzanine we still a fantastic view! We will definitely see it again!

    No Morning Report?

    We took our grandsons, ages 7 and 10 and they enjoyed the show, as did we. I did, however, miss "The Morning Report."

    Wonderful!

    by Cherie Ann on 8/31/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    With all the years “Lion King” has been on Broadway, I finally had an opportunity to see it—with my six year-old, who was seeing a Broadway show for the first time. We both thoroughly enjoyed it! Great orchestra seats and overall awesome experience!

    Fantastic

    by Grandma J on 8/31/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    This play was beyond amazing. The music the costumes, the puppetry all beyond what you could imagine coming to life on stage. This was my second time seeing this fabulous play. This time I brought my 16 year old grandson with me. He had wanted to see this play forever. OMG he loved it. We had fourth row orchestra seats but the theater does not seem to have a seat that would obstruct the view of the play. Staff pleasant and efficient. Please come and enjoy this play. It is age appropriate for young and old.
