So grateful for this experience opportunity!

    Exciting!!

    by Oceanblue on 1/7/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    Excellent cast and the costumes were amazing. Enjoyed the play very much. We felt there was a slight sound system issue on the upper left side of the theatre. At times, there were crackling sounds, and the casts singing was very low. Still the play was excellent and would highly recommend to families with children.

    Fabulous Presentation

    by Aussie Gran on 1/7/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    This was our first time to see the Lion King on Broadway. It was nothing like I expected. The characters and puppetry was over the top. The singing if was beautiful. Each character was brought to life by the excellent performers.

    Not enough adjectives to describe this master piece!

    by G. W. on 1/5/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    While this was the first show I attended in NYC, this was by far the most incredible musical show I experienced. The costumes, the way the story was retransmitted, the performance of the dancers, singers, actors make this whole experience a master piece from my perspective. Thank you for this magnificent moment!

    Not a fan of this production

    by ChicNYC woman on 1/2/20Minskoff Theatre - New York

    I have been bringing guests to The Lion King since it opened in 1997 for $25.00/orchestra seat (plus a watch). At least 5 times since, Whenever guests come from out-of-town, I can count on them having a great Broadway experience at The Lion King. Usually, I am delighted with the new additions. I think my favorite was the summer of 2018 production. I was sadly quite disappointed in the Dec. 30,2019 production. Mustafa was mediocre at best. The overlong hyena dance was ugly. The waterfall piece, looked quickly pieced together. Beloved Rifi somehow lost her distinctive musicality. Much of the dialogue of other performer’s dialogue was unclear. Fortunately this performance was my guests first experience with the Lion King. Due to their excellent aisle orchestra seats they were mesmerized by the actors and the puppetry. They had a great time, but I was disappointed.

    Some performances were a little disappointing, but...

    by Mom of 2 in Florida on 12/29/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    I was so excited to take my kids to see the show. I have seen it about 3 times now, and I loved every minute of it. Now, when I say kids, I mean a teenager and a preteen. They love theater especially musical theater. I wanted to expose them to the brilliance of theater in New York. Being a former professional actor on Broadway, I am truly aware of the great talent that exist in New York. Everyone from the ticket taker to the ushers were wonderful. They show began and it did not disappointment. The puppetry, the imagery, the opening processional and so much more were so exciting for my kids. They loved the show so much. However, I was a little disappointed in some of the performances, they seemed to be a little lackluster. I know that can happen from time to time. Maybe someone is sick and does the show anyway. I did many shows with a cold making sure I was at my best while dealing with an illness. But, I did feel a little like a few characters where just phoning it in. I do not type this lightly. I have the utmost respect for actors and artists. So many cannot do what they do, but wow. I couldn't help feeling like some of the actors were really ready to go home. With that being said, the Rafiki was remarkable that night. The hyenas were fantastic and a few more were great as well. I will not name the names of those I felt were phoning it in, but I know Disney can do better. I am never disappointed in anything Disney does, but those performances were a bit of a let down. That is all. Overall, still one of the most magical shows to watch on Broadway. Thank you for securing my kids love of theater.

    by S.B on 12/28/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    We loved every minute of this remarkable show. Our three little boys were literally on the edge of their seats from start to finish. The performers were amazing. We were sad it had to end.

    Good but could have been better

    by Mel on 12/24/19Minskoff Theatre - New York

    The performance itself was great, the length of the play was a bit much. 2.5 hours is long for something that could have been completed in an hour and a half. The voices and acting were very good but the whole performance lacked a wow factor. Went to see the rockettes and that had a huge wow factor. Even the lion king performance at Disney’s Animal Kingdom has more of a wow factor over this performance.
