While visiting Europe, to thank my friends for their gracious accommodation, I wanted to do something special for them. The Lion King musical was an easy choice. The theater is beautiful, easy to find with public transportation and plenty of restaurants around the area for a nice meal before or after a show. Head out made the process simple for me and saved me time and headaches because everything was in English. The seats were as described, the tickets were sent immediately to my email inbox, and I had no problems accessing the theater which made for a smooth evening. I will definitely use this service again and you can trust them to provide accurate information for enjoyable experiences.

To describe this work of art is very difficult because there are no adjectives in being able to review it. Kudos to all at the reception to the opera itself. Stunning is putting it mildly, breathtaking sets actors, singers, musicians fantastic, unique. Exciting, unique costumes. Unfortunately you can not attach photos since you can not do in the theater and rightly so. Stunning stupendous!!!!

Show not to be missed at all! Fantastic costumes constructed with incredible imagination. Great actors moving through very impressive and engaging choreography and sets. The theater was practically full. We arrived half an hour before the start and found the line at the entrance, but very smooth. In short, the show is worth all the ticket price.

First of all, the musical was a memory from my childhood. Reconnecting with my childhood made me feel really good. It was as if I was living in a fantasy world. The acting, the direction, the music, the characters, the children—everything was extremely professional.

It was a magical experience that no one should miss. The acting of the children and all the other actors is magnificent, as well as their voices. In addition, it is clear that they take perfect care of every detail on stage. I would definitely come back to see it another time.

The musical itself is beautiful. You get caught by the costumes, music, dances and scenery. The theater however is not the most comfortable, especially if like me you have reduced mobility after knee surgery. I can walk alone with a crutch, so I didn't say anything when they gave us seats that same day. To my surprise, I had to walk up 3 flights of stairs, they have no assistance whatsoever. I saw 3 other people with crutches having a hard time going up and then coming down. When I asked about adaptations I was told that they only have a few seats adapted on the first floor, which you have to take in advance. It's lack of conscience, unfortunate for a musical to see with the family.

Let The Lion King take you and your whole family on a unique adventure that will leave you exhilarated from beginning to end! The Lion King is a musical masterpiece that profoundly moves audiences worldwide. This remarkable musical has broken excellent records with over 6 million spectators attending more than 4,500 performances at the world-renowned Lope de Vega theatre! Since its premiere in 2011, The Lion King the musical has been a monumental success that is now proudly celebrating 13 triumphant seasons at Madrid's Gran Vía. Don't miss this extraordinary musical! Watch The Lion King in Madrid today!

The show...EXCELLENT and WONDERFUL...!!! The problem was at the box office, where they wouldn't validate the purchase made through another website; until I raised my voice a little (without shouting), and the mess was sorted out. Thank you very much.
