The Lion King musical tells the Hamlet-like tale of Simba, prince of African lions, who battles his evil Uncle Scar for the throne. But before Simba can take his rightful place in the "Circle of Life", he grows up with his two fun-loving friends, wisecracking meerkat Timon and smelly warthog Pumbaa. Together they teach Simba their philosophy of life, "Hakuna Matata" (No Worries). Based on the 1994 Disney film, and book by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi, the musical includes the Oscar-winning song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." Additional songs are by Hans Zimmer, Lebo M, Mark Mancina and Jay Rifkin. This visual feast is famous for director Julie Taymor's complex animal-puppet-human fusion, and is loved by audiences of all ages.

We took our 7 year old (her first Broadway show), and the Lion King did not disappoint. I recommend it as a great first Broadway experience. However, I am surprised by the other reviewers who talk positively about the wheelchair accessible seating. I use a wheelchair and was seated in the back row. All other seats in the theater have steps to get to them. I knew when I purchased the tickets that the theater does not have any other wheelchair seating closer to the stage. This is frustrating, but what made our experience terrible was the ushers sat people in the last row (the accessible seating row) and the 2nd to last row for the first 30 minutes of the show. They talked loudly to the people who they were seating. They opened the door to the lobby, throwing light into the theater repeatedly. They used lights on their phones to guide people in. At one point, the row in front of me had to stand up while at least 8 people went into their seats. I could not focus on the show and was distracted for many scenes. This was really disappointing. I spoke to a manager who said that all ticket holders have a right to their seat and to enter when they wish. I pointed out that the theater has signs saying management can seat latecomers at their discretion. The 2nd act was much better because there weren't any distractions. Bottom line, to preserve the experience of people who need the accessible seats, the theater should not seat latecomers during the show.
Though not a huge broadway fan and this being my first show I was amazed at how visually appealing Lion King was. It was jaw dropping in visual imagery. I’ll confess I didn’t get into the musical aspect as much and even so couldn’t understand the words but the everything else made it so worth it. On a negative note the seating comfort was dismal, cramped and difficult to exit to a row if needed. Be prepared to suffer a little.
Mesmerizing experience Have simply become a broadway theater fan for life Creativity x perfection = spell bound 2 hours I loved being there ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A wonderful musical, even better than last time I saw it. Even a seat in ‘the orchestra’ (or stalls) which meant I couldn’t see the whole stage didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the show, especially as characters came down through the audience. Highly recommended!
One of the best experience that you don’t want to miss! Make sure you will see this broadway show one of the best
An extraordinary experience. An American show
A well done presentation but with reasonable production
Excellent casting and the kids enjoyed.
Super best show worth it no wonder going on so successfully for years A must watch for all lion king fans
Amazing production. So moving when the "animals" come down the aisles to much whooping and cheering from the crowd - great atmosphere. We were able to get some same day tickets just by going to the box office.
