This show is simply brilliant!!! From the minute the cast walked down the aisles to the stage in their (fantastic) costumes til the curtain went down, I sat transfixed with goosebumps & a lump in my throat. You have no idea how good this show is til you actually see it for yourself. We were in row V & I... more

My sister and I went on a college bus trip to see The Lion King on broadway. The show was excellent . A rude parent brought a 4 year old child with him. The child was making a lot noise and talking too much. He also kicked me in the leg and touch me while sitting on his dad's lap.... more

My youngest was sitting on the aisle and the expression on her face was absolutely priceless! I loved everything about it - the music, the costumes (absolutely amazing), the sets, everything! If you... more

My family and I saw the Lion King last week in NYC, and we had been so excited about it. Unfortunately, do not expect the crowd to follow Broadway etiquette as half the crowd will be teenagers or younger. The young children yelling out and the teenage girls sitting all around us were talking the entire show which was completely... more

We somehow manged to get second row orchestra seats so we were extremly close to all the action. The show and costumes are absoubtly BEAUTIFUL. The actors were flawless! I... more
