It was easy to order tickets online, and our hotel was very close to the theater. The production was great, and our seats (first row, lower balcony) were amazing. Even though we are not Spanish speakers, El Rey León was a fun sow to attend. Seats are priced much more reasonably than Broadway!

Despite not having seats in the first rows, we had the possibility to live a close experience with the characters and enjoy the music, thanks to the sound design and the staging itself. I was a little worried about the songs in Spanish as we know the original soundtrack in English, but we loved the versions and they managed to keep us entertained all the time with credible performances! Congratulations!!! Recommended 100%

I liked the professionalism of the actors and the organization of the costumes and the show. I didn't like the adult Simba actor, it seemed strange that he was light skinned and with a non-Spanish speaking accent ...

    My brother and I were visiting Madrid for a few days from New York and spontaneously decided to see El Rey León on our first night in the city. We get to see lots of Broadway shows back home, but never thought we would get to see this musical in Español. "What a unique opportunity," we thought—and we were right! The Lion King was one of the first musicals we'd ever seen, having seen it on Broadway as small children, so to return to it in a different country and in an entirely different language instantly became a highlight of our trip. The best part is that I don't even speak Spanish, but it hardly made a difference for me; the show is such a dazzling spectacle and its timeless songs can tug at my heart strings no matter the language they're sung in. The audience even clapped along to "Hakuna Matata", which would never happen in a Broadway theatre unless solicited by the performers, but it added an additional, unexpected layer of joy to the show that further distinguished it from the Broadway production back home. Hakuna matata indeed!
