"I absolutely enjoyed every moment of the show. The idea of animal puppets was breathtaking, combined with live music and spectacular voices made the story everyone knows so well a completely new experience. Or maybe it was just me visiting NY and broadway theatre for the first time ;)"

"I love this play, it was fascinating from start to finish. The production and the costumes were to die for. Anyone who gets a chance to see it, it is so worth it! Would go see it again given the chance."

"It was a very beautiful show, it's really worth seeing. I was moved and at the same time I laughed a lot, and I relived the child that exists inside each one of us."
"We took our kids (8Y and 10Y - only limited knowledge of English) to see the Lion King, and they absolutely loved it. And so did we. Everything about it was wonderful. Scenography, costumes, actors - EVERYTHING.
I would say it is a must-see when in New York.
Worth every penny.
