"Amazing show!"

Reviewed March 15, 2025 NEW

What an amazing experience. This production is well worth the time and money. Rafiki alone makes it worth seeing but all of the characters took me back to the movie my 30-yr-old daughter fell in love with! Highly recommend

"First Broadway Show Ever!"

Reviewed February 18, 2025

So many things I could say! Beautiful, phenomenal, and amazing!!! This was our first ever broadway show and we are so happy we chose this to watch. We had seats up on the balcony and they had a great view. The entire staff was so helpful on where to go to find our seats and with any questions we had. Definitely will visit again when back in the area.

"Great theater and production"

Reviewed January 12, 2025

We were in New York City for Christmas and saw 3 theatrical productions including The Lion King. We had purposely seen the movie again immediately before going to the theater and I highly recommended you do so. I got a lot more out of the theater production after seeing the movie within the previous week. It was a great production and one of the best ones I have seen. I am not particularly a theater person, but this one was very good. It also followed the movie almost line for line so if you watch the movie, you will get a lot more out of the theater production. There is a nice interior with great views of Times Square. There were cast members available after the show for photos and autographs. Very highly recommend!
