Fantastic show. I have seen many shows over the years, but this is definitely up there as one of the best I have ever seen. It was absolutely excellent and had our attention from curtain up to curtain down. there was no point when we thought "this bit isn't as good" or where our attention wavered. The costumes were inventive... more

What else can be said.. the ticket prices are crazy (we paid $121 a seat) but the kids spent the next three hours after the show still talking about it... They loved it! I cant think of a better way to introduce kids to theater than through a musical like this. A must see for anyone with kids. more

The Lion King on Broadway is absolutely spectacular! You don't go to "see" this show, you "experience" it. The costumes, music, set, is really unbelievable. Hats off to all the people who made Lion King. We really, really, really liked it. more

By far, this is my favorite presentation ever. I will not be repetitive, as others have already said about the performance. What I have to say is: SPECTACLE IS SPECTACULAR!!! I've been twice and cannot expect to watch again. Costumes are well characterized and actors are of excellent quality. Singers are the very best and Orchestra with a particular DRUM... more

This was our first visit to a show on Broadway and our first time seeing The Lion King. We booked several months in advance so had perfect seats about six rows from the front in the middle. For some reason tickets are quite a lot more expensive than visiting the theatre in London’s West End, but in my opinion worth... more

I have seen a lot of Broadway and Off-Broadway shows in my lifetime. Some were good and some were not so good. But of all the good ones, The Lion King stands out as one of the best. It is simply a spectacular production with astounding costumes, fantastic songs, and magical stage-work. You will be mesmerized. I think this may... more
