A lively stage adaptation of the Academy Award-winning 1994 Disney film, The Lion King is the story of a young lion prince living in the flourishing African Pride Lands.

When an unthinkable tragedy, orchestrated by Simba’s wicked uncle, Scar, takes his father’s life, Simba flees the Pride Lands, leaving his loss and the life he knew behind. Eventually companioned by two hilarious and unlikely friends, Simba starts anew. But when weight of responsibility and a desperate plea from the now ravaged Pride Lands come to find the adult prince, Simba must take on a formidable enemy, and fulfill his destiny to be king.

"The show matches well to the movie but brings its own renewals. The stage was full with talented actors with realistic costumes and showed a remarkable level of acting. The show had funny scenes though included also emotional parts."

"This is the third time I have seen The Lion King. I took My niece5 to see this 15 years ago and 16 years ago. It was just as amazing as it was back then! The theater comes alive, and the brilliant costume designs are simply magnificent! Everyone knows the sound track and living it live sends chill through your body. They brought back the original actor who played Zazu, and he was just as amazing as he was 16 years ago! Rafiki, was portrayed brilliantly by a new actress making her first appearance on Broadway, but you would never know it. This is the best family play I have seen, and I have seen them all! If you have not seen The Lion King, you must! Bring the family, or enjoy it on a date, or solo. You wont be disappointed but guaranteed excited!! Bravo to the cast, production and orchestra leader!"

"The story repeats itself to demonstrate the circle of life, however shows for families can afford to be shorter and without an interval. This and other Disney live shows would benefit from editing."

"If you’re a fan of Disney and The Lion King, you will love this show! It is fun and entertaining, with high energy and a lot of spirit. The performers are extremely talented, their singing is beautiful and emotional. The dancing is all perfectly timed and they are all in sync with each other. The show stays true to the original film, but still gives us extra without taking away from the film. The Minskoff Theatre is a lovely place and designed very well. The staff are all friendly and happy to help you. I would recommend an aisle seat in the orchestra level. I hope this show comes back to Australia soon so I can take my niece. "
