""The Lion King" - an astonishing experience."

Reviewed December 02, 2025 NEW

My wife and I visited the evening show of "The Lion King" on 29 November 2025. We didn't know what to expect and were pleasantly surprised. We thought that the theater would be full of kids, but adults were in majority. We had front seats, so we had an opportunity to tell the conductor that the show wasn't just good, it was spectacular. The set up of the many changing sets, the performance of the live musicians (hidden), all the beautiful and colorful costumes that fit each character of the musical perfectly, and of course the very stunning performance of all actors made it a wonderful experience. We can only highly recommend seeing this musical if you are in NYC and wouldn't mind seeing it again at our next visit.

Breathtaking! The character representation was creatively outstanding. I was so blown away by the opening number I didn’t think the show could get better, but it sure did. And, Rafiki (Ntsepa Pitjeng-Molebatsi) - bravo!! Thank you Broadway for your creativity, visual masterpiece and sheer excellence in entertainment. I adored it!!

"Very entertaining!!!!"

Reviewed October 30, 2025

There was a line when we arrived at the theater but it moved fast. In no time we were inside the theater. The show was entertaining from the beginning to the end. I had a smile on my face for the introduction. All the actors and actresses were talented. My husband even expressed that the show was enjoyable. We would recommend everyone to get this experience. It was worth every penny. The seats were comfortable, the staff were knowledgeable and friendly, especially Angelica from Puerto Rico. We were able to meet some of the actors after the show which was nice. They were providing autographs. We really enjoyed this show and grateful for the experience.
