    A Great Day‼️

    by Grandparents on 1/29/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    Took two of our young grandsons to see The Lion King since we try to give them each a special day and it was their turn to see a Broadway show and have a day in the city. We all had a wonderful day from start to finish! They loved the show!

    Mediocre

    by disappointed on 1/27/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    the start was exciting with a great song and performances but through out the entire time, there was too much of seriousness & monologue talking rather than synchronized dancing w/ music. it was rather slow and boring.

    by M. S. on 1/26/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    The show was fabulous! Costumes and puppetry were awesome. Only problem is the seats. So tight. Row in front is right at your knees. Very uncomfortable when your in a seat for 2 1/2 hrs.

    2nd time not the charm.

    by Jacki on 1/25/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    I was so excited to get discount tickets for 2 for 1 Broadway week. The first time I was it was 15 years ago and was blow away. I would always tell people Lion King is the best show I’ve ever seen, and it was then. Not now.. I feel the quality of acting and singing has gone down hill.. The simba main character left a lot to be desired, he didn’t command the stage, actually at some points with all the people opening and eating candy I could barely hear him. I didn’t feel the chemistry between him and Nayla, something was off. Besides that, the entire show people had there hands in their candy wrappers which was SO distracting. I finally had to cal over a woman to get the people behind us to be quiet. The positives about the show: the opening is beautiful, Rafiki is amazing, the same way I remember her. She owns the shows, and will give you chills. The costumes are so creative and special, and the dancers and singers are beautiful you will love when they come down the aisles. The 2nd half of the show was a disappointment, hard time hearing the actors and and didn’t think the quality was broadway!

    Lion King, Broadway NYC

    by NT on 1/22/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    The show in itself was awesome! But for the amount of money we paid, completely dissatisfied with the seating...too overcrowded and I wasn't able to see the entire stage.

    Amazing Play- but very hard to hear

    by ALaFram on 1/22/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    The play was spectacular as expected! But, it was hard to hear. There were 7 of us who felt the same way. Our seats were mezzanine right rows FF and GG. Felt like a speaker was out, which I can’t imagine was the situation. The play was beautiful though.... just wish the volume was a tad louder.
