Had the opportunity to take my daughter (12yrs) while in NYC many years back. We were both mesmerized and exited with our mouths agape! If you have never seen, please do, it will leave you speechless 🤗 My daughter, now 32, states it is still her #1 choice. Lion King was her introduction to the theatre and she now goes often!
I saw the show back in December 8, 2019 on Broadway. I love The Lion King when I was a kid.
This was my first Broadway experience and it was spectacular! The acting, music, production, directing, everything was just so on point. Family friendly and enjoyable for adults too. I thoroughly enjoyed this show!
Intelligent additions, masterful music, wonderful actors.
I'm just so overwhelmed. I have waited ever since this became a Broadway show I wanted to see it. The Lion King is my fav movie of all time. I cried as I seen the amazing people walking down the aisle in there amazing outfits. Everything was beautiful and I love the humor the actors gave. I cried off and on since one of my dreams finally came true. I loved all the songs. One off my fav had to be when Nala was leaving her tribe to find help and food. It's was a sad but uplifting parting. There so much to say but I'm thankful for the hard work everyone put in this show. I can't say anything bad about it. This was an experience that I will never forget and feel so blessed. I just felt like everyone was happy down to the workers who was seating everyone to the people who were getting people orders. It was all touching. The workers were laughing cause I had a big order of most of the stuff that was being sold and they were like who is this person. Lol all the money I spent was worth it. It's like I was watching the movie all over again but just seeing different scenes and how it went down. It was even more special since it was the 25th anniversary of the show. I don't know what else to put but I can't express how I feel in seeing this and was not disappointed at all.
This was the first ever broadway production my husband and I had ever seen. I must say it was amazing and did not disappoint at all. The actor's and actresses were spectacular. A must see if visiting NYC.
Our dream came true! Everything is perfect in this show : actors are very good performers, sceneries are gorgeous, dancers are amazing. The original story is respected as well as songs... This show gave us chills from start to finish. Seats are very cumfortable and the theatre is very beautiful. Thank you very much for this great experience!
I saw this show on my golden birthday a couple months ago, and I wanna see it again so badly!! It was a dream come true. It was absolutely stunning, the songs, the puppetry, everything was amazing. I love this show my favorite Broadway show so far!!
A few months ago, I'm crying over going to see The Lion King on Broadway again. This performance will reopen in September 14, 2021.
Unfortunately, we were set to see the show the same day the Mayor shut the shows down. While we understood the reasoning, it was less than 2 hours before curtain time. I've seen it already but not my niece and sister-in-law. We can't wait to re-schedule. Thank you Ticketmaster for the prompt refund
