"I was blown away!! My 22 year old daughter picked the show and I wasn’t very excited to go, if I’m being completely honest. Opening scene gave me chills and I was hooked! Younger children MAY get bored simply because it’s not much like the cartoon, BUT don’t misunderstand that as a negative. As this is a phenomenal production, full of emotion - with an amazingly brilliant cast…many of whom are first time Broadway stars. Cannot recommend enough!!"

"I was able to see the Lion King on Broadway for the first time . It was a very powerful performance. What was particularly impressive was the opening. I burst into tears at the volume of voice and heartfelt screams echoing throughout the venue of the old woman. In addition, the big animals in Africa went up on the stage and watched the powerful performance up close.
We came from Japan this time. My husband, who doesn't understand English, was also impressed and burst into tears beyond words.
In addition, the response of the staff was excellent, and they guided me so that even Japanese who came for the first time would not be confused.
In addition, I would like to thank the staff who responded politely when applying online.
I had a wonderful experience in America. Thank you again."
