The Lion King is an unparalleled experience when it comes to theatre. Tremendous presentation, beautiful costumes, nicely executed. We have seen it with and without our kids, and enjoyed it all three times (only once in NYC).

This was my first Broadway show, and it's simply remarkable. One of these moments you'll never forget.

I'm biased...my nephew Patrick R. Brown was playing a magnificently evil Scar....but the energy, story and music were truly awesome!

Unless you think it is worth $300 to see giraffe costumes, this was the biggest disappointment I've had in New York in 20 years. Recorded music with mediocre sound. NO ENERGY.. Plenty of attitude from ushers.

Show was fantastic. Hard to know where to look next. No wonder it has been showing for so many years.

Ok, I admit that I LOVE broadway shows and have chased down my favorites from London to NY. I won't say how many times I've seen the Lion King or in how many different cities but no matter where I catch a performance it does not disappoint. Who couldn't love these adorable characters and their music.
