Itinerary

Minskoff Theatre
Admission included

Recommended to arrive 30 minutes before the show

The Lion King
Admission included150 min

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.

Such a great experience. The no phones was a great decision to be one with the performance. Loved everything about this musical.

Incredible spectacle, but seat selection makes all the difference!

The Lion King on Broadway is a visual masterpiece—the opening procession down the Orchestra aisles gives you goosebumps instantly. However, for anyone planning to book, where you sit matters just as much as what you pay. A quick tip for budget travelers: Don't fall for the extreme rear rows of the Mezzanine just because they are cheap, as you'll miss the facial expressions and handmade puppet details. The absolute sweet spot for view vs. price is Front Mezzanine (Rows A to C)—the elevation gives you a panoramic sightline over the entire stage choreography and pride rock mechanics without anyone blocking your view. Also, if you are visiting NYC, check the Minskoff Theatre box office in person to skip hefty online fees if you are already in the area. A must-see show for both first-timers and families!

Overrated

Singing was great, acts were great but it was too tight and small in there. I think the entire show was overrated.

The Lion King - a must watch!

This was an overall great experience, both the booking experience with Viator and the Broadway show itself. I would highly recommend this show to people, especially those with kids (as the kids would really love the characters and how it was been performed on stage).

The Lion King in minskoff theatre

​Sean and LaShonda went above and beyond to work their magic, handling everything seamlessly and securing me a replacement seat for the very next show. The way they turned a stressful situation completely around was truly epic. The show itself was breathtaking, but the exceptional kindness and outstanding service from Sean and LaShonda are what made the trip unforgettable. Huge thanks to both of them for saving the day!

Excellent, Amazing!

This Broadway show has been something I've wanted to see for years. I finally was able to go to NYC to see Lion King. Excellent! We enjoyed the pageantry, music, plot, costumes, and of course the actors. They did an fantastic job. The costumes were amazing!

The icing on the cake in New York

Initially I was skeptical about spending so much to attend a show, but then I thought it would be that extra experience on our trip to New York. Never a better choice, in hindsight I can say it was the most beautiful experience of the trip, which was already full of beautiful things. A show of the highest level, so moving that I couldn't hold back my tears. I can therefore say that it is worth the money spent.

World-class show to enjoy with the family

We loved it, we had been wanting to go see an iconic Broadway play for a long time and we could not miss seeing The Lion King, a true classic. Everything was perfect, from the entrance to the theater where they help people with reduced mobility. The seats were comfortable, the view of the stage was super good and we enjoyed it to the fullest. It is incredible how the sounds and the music are made right there live and in person with a team of musicians prepared for the show. This show is world-class where the professionalism of the artists, the staging, and the costumes stand out. Must-see show on Broadway.

Loved it!

Everyone loved it! We had such a great time! It was funny and sad and the actors were so good! The costums and music also very creative and amazing! Even my youngest, who gets bored quickly, was attentive the whole time. Really a great experience! Thank you!

great show unless you use a wheelchair

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.
