    Greatest broadway show ever , my 6 year old twins had a blast . The only bad part was after the show only one actor came out for autographs, little Simba and he was the greatest taking pictures etc.. just wish more actors came out to give autographs..

  • Awesomeness!!

    by Lala on 8/27/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    This performance was excellent on several levels! From the time I walked in to exiting the theater, the experience was nice. My daughter, who is not big on theatrics, thought the performance was wonderful too! The Minskoff theater was a perfect size... No seat is a bad seat. We sat in the 3 row of the mezzanine and it was perfect! I'm also glad I got my tickets on Ticket Master... Very easy & convenient & affordable

  • Fantastic experience

    by ckc575 on 8/21/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Great Broadway experience for the whole family. Even if you have seen the movie, you need to experience this Broadway version of the "Lion King" if you do visit New York. At first I was a bit disappointed on the night of the performance to find out that the 2 main characters (Simba & Nala) were understudies & not the main headline acts, the stage production & overall performance was quite magical.

  • Wonderful Experience

    by Sperry on 8/21/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Breath taking performance. We had mezzanine seat and the view was perfect. The performance, singing and actors/actresses were great. The costumes were on point and we appreciated all of the humor along the way. By far, our best and favorite broadway show. Keep up the great work!

  • Well Worth The Wait

    by TinaMarie on 8/20/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    I've wanted to see The Lion King on Broadway for what seems like forever and it was well worth the wait!!! My favorite was Rafiki....I can't even put into words how her performance made me feel. There were times that I had chills just listening to her singing. The lyrics, the costumes, the graphics, the artists, the music......everything about this play was perfect to me. It was the first broadway show for my two daughters and I'm so happy I chose this one to share with them.

    This was an extraordinary performance and it was worth paying a little more for the good seats. The costumes are amazing and the voices were outstanding. Make sure you look back when they play starts to see the entrance of the animals. Incredible!!!!
