I love musicals, but this is an easy ultimate favourite out of them all for me. I watch this over and over again, and go every year. The experience they provide is unmatched. Beautiful, and astounding.

"A must see show despite the expensive tickets."

Reviewed October 29, 2024 NEW

I've been in New York a few times but I've never experienced a broadway show. This time I had the occasion to go and finally see it with my future wife. Despite the expensive tickets, we really enjoyed the show. The performers to the costumes from the orchestra to the staging were all awesome and amazing. Keep in mind there might be crowds and lineups to get in the theater or the restrooms during the intermission. Perhaps this is one of the most popular performances of broadway but it's worth it to see it once. There might be other shows at a lower price if you're on a low budget.

"The Lion King"

Reviewed October 26, 2024 NEW

Our family went to see The Lion King on Broadway and absolutely loved it. I had seen the touring show before but seeing it New York was really special and this was our kids first time. Would highly recommend it to anyone visiting NYC.

"Spectacular!"

Reviewed October 18, 2024

This was our second Broadway show and it was superb! Great production value, the background score, actors, props, lighting--everything was top notch. The 'Circle of Life' performance at the beginning gave me goosebumps! The girl sitting next to me was moved to tears--it was a soul-stirring performance indeed. If you plan to visit only one show, then this should be the one.

"Unbelievable"

Reviewed October 18, 2024

I’m not a musical theatre person, but this is unbelievable. The sets, performers, music, seating, staff and atmosphere is top notch. It is so brilliant and the story told could not have been done better. Perfect.
