Truly Incredible
"I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We had an aisle seat allowing for my daughter to be right next to the ensemble entering the theater, which was a nice surprise as I didn’t know this about the performance. I highly recommend that seating option, especially for children. Otherwise the performance was captivating, the costumes were stunningly beautiful, and the orchestra was outstanding. A timeless show for any age! "

What a night at the Lion King
"The musical was incredible from start to finish. The costumes, the scenes, the story, the actors/actresses, everything was amazing. My wife and I enjoyed the entire show. Sitting on the isle and being close to the characters walking down the aisle added to the experience. Thank you!"

Extremely creative
"We recently saw Lion King on Broadway and were blown away by the colorful, creative and over the top costumes. Loved the staging and interactive mingling of characters with the audience. The story is about protecting family and doing what is best for all involved. The music and songs are brilliantly written. The entire show makes one feel like they are in Africa!"

Amazing experience even from the back
"I was sitting from the back and the performance was amazing. Can't imagine how much better it would be sitting on the front. It would probably be even more immersive. The sounds and choreography was amazing. There was also almost no waiting time for the bathroom, they had a really efficient queue system."

Great show - worth every penny!
"I took my 5 year old nephew to the show. I was a bit nervous that he would not be entertained for the whole show and get antsy, but he enjoyed every minute of his first Broadway experience saying the elephants and all the large animal costumes were his favorite!"

Simply Amazing
"First broadway show I went to as an adult and I can say it was well worth it! We got there just in the nick of time for the show to start, but would definitely recommend getting to the theater at least 10m in advance to get seated and ready. Otherwise the show itself was amazing, sat in the middle in the Mezzanine and the acing and singing was great. Excellent experience!"
