    It was a great show for ALL ages. Music, costumes, choreography, set design and actors were wonderful. I had a smile on my face from the first note.

  • Best experience ever!

    by Toi on 5/12/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    I saw the Lion King for the first time on Broadway and it was more than I ever imagined. The music and art was phenomenal. It brought me back to when i saw the movie for the first time as a kid. Definitely a standing ovation.

  • Great Show

    by J. R. on 5/11/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 4 out of 5

    I had seen the production in Los Angeles about 10 years ago so it was interesting to be able to compare the two productions and venues. Maybe it was because it was the first time I saw it or where my seats were, I felt as though the production in Los Angeles was a bit better as far as the operation of the costumes... the NY production required a bit more imagination. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed the production!

  • Must see!

    The minkoff theater stage was smaller than i expected of a Broadway show, but the minute thise elephants walked down the isle it more than made up for thr smallness. The musical went beyond my expectations, the costumes were just awesome, the actors were great and there voices where on point.

  • All sparkle--no substance

    by Theater Dame on 5/8/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 2 out of 5

    A big disappointment for me. Never having see The Lion King, I was looking forward to a wonderful musical experience. And, truly, the staging and costumes are fabulous—and they are essentially the whole show. So if all you're looking for is a visual delight, this is the musical for you. The story, though, is basic and minimal. Many times I couldn't understand the dialog—I couldn't tell if the actors were speaking English, an African language, a made-up language, or just mumbling through a clunky sound-system. Now I cannot understand how this show has been running so long.

  • Best show ever seen

    by Stew-ee on 5/8/19Minskoff Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Within the first 2 minutes of the opening act I had tears down my face due to pure excitement of it all! The music was fantastic, the costumes and performance was the best show I’ve ever seen on Broadway! All the seats had great views as the show poured into the audience at times. A standing ovation at the end for a spectacular performance!!

  • Spectacular.
