Voices from the heavens
"The show was absolutely beautiful. The costumes were incredibly creative, and the music was just delightful. The voices of Nala and Mufasa are true stand outs for such beauty. Their voices radiated throughout that theater like no others. Their voices moved right through my body and there were times throughout the show that I was just so moved. This was a memorable event I shared with my daughter and will forever cherish.

"We have seen a travelling version of Lion King, which is quite wonderful. But in its own theater, it's a different experience. You should go."

Great show
"This is my third time watching Lion King in Broadway. The overall performances, stage design, casts, props were fantastic. My kids and I loved it.
The only thing I’d mention is that there were some ( not sure if they come from other Lion King movies?) songs and music in the show which weren’t that amusing to us, as we were expecting the real life version of Lion King animation. The taste of those songs/music that seemed a bit different from the animation movie. But overall I loved every minute, every essence of the musical. Thank you for the great show! "

The Artist in me loved it!
"The costumes and props were soooooo creative. A few parts were "scary" and a child near us did not want to come back after intermission. Know what your child can handle. 8 and up, no problem I would think."

Highly Anticipated…didn’t disappoint
"Loved that they had some original elements while honoring the integrity of the original story. Vocalists, orchestra and effects were all amazing!!! The only thing I found myself experiencing dissonance around was the scale of the show- I expected a much larger number of animals in the opening and closing scenes around Pride Rock. Since it’s been upwards of 25+ years since the musical’s opening, I’m not sure if the show supported a larger cast in the earlier part of its run or not. Though, I wonder if this was so. Also, am curious about whether its home was always the Minskoff; wondering if there was a larger stage that housed the show in the portion of the earlier run.
Altogether, definitely highly recommend!!! It was beautiful and it’s very clear the actors and everyone involved highly respect their own craft and work hard to deliver a version of the show that truly works to lift up the experience of the audience!! Thank you to the cast, crew and Minskoff Theater!! ❤️❤️❤️🙌🏽🤌🏽👏🏽🙏🏽🤩🤩🥳🥳"

Nice, family show
"The singing, choreography, and creative way the story is presented is outstanding. There is no graphic violence, sex, or cursing.
However there are scenes where the props used are worn and outdated. The baby lion is a doll with no eyes. The stampede scene is a drum roll of paper with printed designs that are continuously moving around in a circle. For $200. a seat I expected better.
Having the characters come out into the audience is a spark of brilliance. Could there be more interactive elements included in the story such as movements of the seats, confetti sprinkled on audience or an explosion of paper fireworks that spill out into the audience?
Just asking….
Janet Rivera"

Great for kids, okay for adults
"The Lion King is a Broadway classic and it is an incredible show, but I do feel like it’s more “cute” than a wow factor. I think it’s a perfect show to go to with kids, but going as a pair of adults, it wasn’t as captivating as other shows. I’m glad I saw it, and the performers were incredible, but I don’t think I would do it again if I could go back."

Mixed review
"Amazing singing and the animals at the start and end of the show are breathtaking. However, for the high price we paid for tickets, the set was lazy and underwhelming; hanging cloths, looked like paper grass and a cardboard tree. Reminded me of a high school show. Not Broadway calibre. But the cast was great and the opening and closing were amazing. "
