  • Seen it twice, and I want desperately to go again.

    by Aurorafy on 6/4/25Rating: 5 out of 5

    I first saw Lion King on Broadway in NYC years and years ago. Then I saw it again in Boston, Now I want to go again to Seattle. For the record, I have only ever paid to go see Lion King on Broadway and Pricilla Queen of the Desert as a theatrical production. This is not something that I am generally able to afford. But the way that they do The Lion King is mesmerizing. The costumes alone are brillant, and connected culturally in so many ways. FYI, there is a great tik tok series that gets into the depth cultures infused into it a lot and great unexpected details.

  • Amazing!

    by Sue on 5/5/24Rating: 5 out of 5

    Had the opportunity to take my daughter (12yrs) while in NYC many years back. We were both mesmerized and exited with our mouths agape! If you have never seen, please do, it will leave you speechless 🤗 My daughter, now 32, states it is still her #1 choice. Lion King was her introduction to the theatre and she now goes often!

  • Birthday wish came true

    by Z. M. on 12/12/22Rating: 5 out of 5

    I'm just so overwhelmed. I have waited ever since this became a Broadway show I wanted to see it. The Lion King is my fav movie of all time. I cried as I seen the amazing people walking down the aisle in there amazing outfits. Everything was beautiful and I love the humor the actors gave. I cried off and on since one of my dreams finally came true. I loved all the songs. One off my fav had to be when Nala was leaving her tribe to find help and food. It's was a sad but uplifting parting. There so much to say but I'm thankful for the hard work everyone put in this show. I can't say anything bad about it. This was an experience that I will never forget and feel so blessed. I just felt like everyone was happy down to the workers who was seating everyone to the people who were getting people orders. It was all touching. The workers were laughing cause I had a big order of most of the stuff that was being sold and they were like who is this person. Lol all the money I spent was worth it. It's like I was watching the movie all over again but just seeing different scenes and how it went down. It was even more special since it was the 25th anniversary of the show. I don't know what else to put but I can't express how I feel in seeing this and was not disappointed at all.
