"This show was chosen because my daughter loves the movie, and she has never seen a Broadway show. Let me tell you, it was the PERFECT introduction to Broadway for her!!! The storyline adhered to the movie, the music was great and included new songs not in the movie, and the acting and singing was wonderful 🎶🎶🎶🎶 It was also marvelous that my child saw people who looked like her onstage, made a powerful impact on her as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 💗💗💗"

"When I asked my 5 yo daughter if she liked the performance, she said ‘Mommy, I didn’t like it, I LOVED IT!’
What’s not to love?! The ensemble is phenomenal. The songs are woven into the tapestry of our lives. The theme and messages are positive and powerful! The musicians make us dance in our seats. It’s a beautiful experience for all and any! Don’t just run, get a running leap towards The Lion King! You’ll roar about it!"
