We had really good seats which allowed us to observe and appreciate the puppeteers, costumes and orchestra. The music, the colors and choreography was a feast to the eyes and ears. I would go again soon. It was incredible. A memorable experience.

The show was fantastic. The singing, dancing and the marionets were out of this world. I really recommend it for all ages. My favoret character was Rafiki.

the sets with their perfect colors, the mechanisms creating movement, the stage with all its moving parts, the cast and correct scene changes, the “automatic” positioning of masks onto faces, the wonderful actors, the incomparable young Simba, the vocal power of all the actor-singers, the flawless dialogue, the songs, the music, the lighting, the direction…

The story

When young Simba, heir to the Pride Lands, loses his father Mufasa to the treachery of his uncle Scar, he flees in shame and self-doubt. Years later, guided by his friends and the spirit of his father, he must face his past and embrace his destiny as king. From lush African landscapes to the stampede sequence that redefined stagecraft, The Lion King on Broadway roars with emotion until Simba steps into the light, but can he truly forgive the past?

Critics reviews

“Seen purely as a visual tapestry, there is simply nothing else like it… Suddenly, you're 4 years old again, and you've been taken to the circus for the first time.”

- The New York Times

“Julie Taymor’s staging of Disney’s The Lion King is a marvel, a theatrical achievement unrivaled in its beauty, brains and ingenuity.”

- Variety
