    Just okay - kind of boring

    by J on 2/15/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    In my opinion, the women out sang the men. Their voices were powerful. The male actors lacked passion and their voices were good but not powerful. Adult Simba was lacking chemistry with adult Nala.

    YAAAAAAS

    by E.V. on 2/14/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    I may be biased but I found the show to be incredible. This music was moving, I enjoyed watching the characters come to life on the stage, and I adored the additions to the storyline. However, I had a harsh realization that I didn't handle Mufasa's death on stage any better than I did watching it in animation or IMAX 3D.

    Truly inspiring costume design.

    by S. on 2/14/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    It was my second time watching this fabulous show. The show had a few changes. One of my favorite things was how the grass moved w the wind blowing the blades of grass amazing. For some reason this is one of the changes and no longer in the show. Though disappointed it did not diminish the excellence of the show.

    by C. H. on 2/12/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    From the beautiful sets and costumes, to the exceptional talent displayed though the music and athleticism of the dancers, to the many surprise entrances though the audience, to all of the beautiful shades of melanin that adorned the stage, this show was spectacular! They did a wonderful job of bringing a classic movie to life!

    by Liberty on 2/11/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    Still a lot of energy after all these years. Very imaginative animals, exciting dances, the drummers were grooving. Villain scar, and buddies Timon and pumba in top form. Same great score

    Exceeded expections

    by Kevin M on 2/11/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    Particularly the first half is truly amazing! It was a birthday gift for my 12 year old daughter, and I (dad) enjoyed it very much. The only negative I might say is the older Simba had awkward body movements throughout that were distracting... But still great.

    Not a good play

    by Andi on 2/10/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    The play was very dated. The performances of all the known songs were not as near excitying as the cartoon version. I know that everyone loved this show but my daughter and I left at intermission and we were not the only ones.

    by WYM20 on 2/10/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    This has got to be the BEST show on Broadway!!! It’s entertaining from Beginning to End. The dancing, performance and animals were amazing. Great costumes that brought it all to life. I also LOVED the two musicians on the side of the theater. They added extra life to the show. Congratulations to all for an amazing performance!!!! ( I will be back to see it again and again 😉)
