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!"

Completely Captivating!
"Attending The Lion King on Broadway was an unforgettable experience! From the moment the show began, I was completely captivated. The innovative costumes and breathtaking puppetry brought the characters to life in a way that was truly magical. The singing was phenomenal—every performance was filled with emotion and power, making classic songs like Circle of Life and Can You Feel the Love Tonight even more moving. Beyond the incredible production, the staff went above and beyond to ensure a great experience. They were kind, professional, and exceptionally accommodating. When they noticed my grandmother, who is disabled, they graciously escorted her to a more comfortable seat, making sure she could fully enjoy the show without any difficulties. That level of care and thoughtfulness made the night even more special. Overall, The Lion King is a must-see for anyone who loves Broadway. The combination of stunning visuals, powerful music, and top-tier hospitality made for an extraordinary night. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a magical theater experience!"

It was amazing experience with wonderful music
"It really was a wonderful experience. The music and costumes were phenomenal! My only regret is that my daughter was/is a bit too young to come join us and will need to wait probably a couple more years before she could sit still long enough for a musical. But I can't wait to share the experience with her! "
