For over two decades, the touring production’s visual tapestry has enchanted audiences across North America and continues to be a “must-see” live event, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

We were very pleased with the show. We had high expectations of the show, and we got what we expected.
A lot of emotions were evoked throughout the phenomenal play. Costumes, backdrops, music, and actors are all first class! Loved how some of the actors made their way onto the stage. Come back soon!
The show and almost everything about the experience was amazing! My only complaint is about the line for the women's bathroom that extends through the entire length of the only hallway. I feel like a second bathroom and different way of forming the line would be much easier for everyone during a short intermission.
Props and stage lighting amazed. Mufasa exuded the aura of a wise and strong king. Talented singers-Young cubs, the baboon, and Scar and the all character numbers were especially rewarding.
Took my 6 girls-ages 12-40. It was a fantastic experience that left us knowing a new tradition started. The costumes. music and acting left us mesmerized -thank you for bringing Broadway to Minneapolis.
I’ve seen this since the premiere five times. Always good, always new, always surprising! Love it!
Filled with wonderful music, acting, and dancing! Breathtaking performance!
What an experience. The powerful voices, the colorful costumes, the energetic choreography ....a performance you will remember for a long time.
The first time I saw the Lion King was 27 years ago when it was in pre-production before going to Broadway here in Minneapolis. I've also seen it on Broadway. And now it is back home where it all began. The production is as good as ever and loses nothing. The costuming is phenomenal, the production is top-notch and the music is great. The puppetry mesmerizes you. However, I was disappointed in the sound system at the beginning of the show and in parts before the end of the First Act. The speaking parts were not easy to hear at times and were muffled. That is unfortunate and it was not just my comment. A production of this quality should have microphones for the actors that are crisp and clear and project without having to wonder what was said.
My daughter and I went to see the Lion King when she was 15. She's been wanting to see it again. She is now 35 and I bought us tickets. It surpassed our expectations. We were in the front row so we were able to see all of the animals come up to the stage.⅚ Watching how the performers made each step while moving the animals was a show in itself. The bongo players and the Orchestra added an extra depth. We would have gone again if we were able. My daughter knew the words to every song. This is a production that should not be missed.
