"it's just the best. its very difficult, when you know the movie, to get past the voices being different - but it was overall so much better than the original movie. there were even a few actor's performances that were just better than the movie (Nala and Rafiki). it was one part ballet, one part musical, and one part puppetry. I'm just really glad we saw it."

"The Lion King musical on Broadway was nothing short of flawless and spectacular. From the moment the curtains rose, I was stunned by the impeccable precision of the choreography, the seamless coordination of the performers, and the breathtaking use of props and set design. Each scene was meticulously crafted, creating a visual masterpiece that brought the African savannah to life. The acting was captivating, and the musical arrangement stayed true to the original while adding new layers of richness. It was a powerful, nostalgic journey that took me back to my childhood, reliving the magic of the movie in an unforgettable way."

"Watching this show was unexpected since it was a last minute decision in our last day. No regrets at all, the actors and singers left everything in the scene. The lion king story itself is so moving, and they represented it with all the details, the show was amazing, the music, the scenery changes and the customs. I really loved it, and I couldn’t help finishing in tears. So emotive, I highly recommend it and I understand why is so popular and people from all over the world want to see it. I came from Chile and even though it was expensive, was really worth it."

"I took my grandchildren ages 5 and 7 to their first broadway show. I was familiar with the show so I purchased fifth row aisle seats in the orchestra. The kids enjoyed it, saw the actors parade down the aisle and up very close. It really made an intimate exciting show for them. "
