    Mesmerizing experience ...

    Rajat_B, May 2026
    Mesmerizing experience Have simply become a broadway theater fan for life Creativity x perfection = spell bound 2 hours I loved being there ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Highly recommended

    Susan_M, Apr 2026
    A wonderful musical, even better than last time I saw it. Even a seat in ‘the orchestra’ (or stalls) which meant I couldn’t see the whole stage didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the show, especially as characters came down through the audience. Highly recommended!

    Amazing Story!

    luisa_t, Apr 2026
    One of the best experience that you don’t want to miss! Make sure you will see this broadway show one of the best

    Super best show worth it no wonder going on so successfully for years A must watch for all lion king fans

    Fantastic Show

    Diana_F, May 2025
    We booked the tickets from Australia and were very excited when we finally arrived at the theatre on Broadway. I couldn't bring up the tickets on my phone but using the print out I had made of our booking reference, the box office staff were very helpful and printed out our tickets. We had great seats. The show was amazing and I highly recommend it. Afterwards it was very difficult to find a taxi to get back to our hotel. We walked several blocks away from Times Square to hail a cab.

    Great performance shame about the venue being so hot

    Fleur_P, Feb 2025
    Great performance but the venue was soooooooo hot! Like sickly hot. Definitely nearly Passed out with due to the heat.

    App ticket retrieval problem

    Philip_B, Nov 2024
    The show was absolutely fantastic, but Viator app ticket retrieval poor. Would not load to smart phone, just said take voucher to box office. When in a que of hundreds of people, this is hassle you do not want. Will book directly next time.

    Must see musical in NY!

    Katherine_F, Sep 2024
    What a wonderful musical! I went with my 32 year old son who’s favorite movie at 3 years old was The Lion King. We both enjoyed this show so much and brought back very warm memories.

    Amazing play

    Maiara_L, Sep 2024
    The singers, the costumes, everything was perfect. Much better than I expected. I would definitely re-watch it.

    Great show… but

    Anna_V, Jun 2024
    Great show, but would suggest the matinee. Bring out late on Times Square with a young family was not fun. Too crowed and like a teenage party.

    Very enjoyable

    Theresa_H, Feb 2024
    Ease of booking and efficient .Great to have it booked beforehand and gave me peace of mind .I was able to spend with an easy mind that I had the play booked

    Awesome show

    Akira_J, Jul 2023
    I enjoyed the elaborate stage setups the most. It was better than watching a movie. This was our first broadway performance. It was amazing.

    Amazing show

    Tamim_A, Jul 2023
    It’s an excellent show must see… even though we had the seats at the last of the theatre but it was not bad at all…

    Great show if you have kids

    chuntell_w, Jul 2023
    It was a cute show if you had kids. Very juvenile and not at all the elegant Broadway show I have invisioned. Show was ok but could have been shortened by a least 30 minutes. Move the show off Broadway, charge 1/2 the price and it would be worth it!

    Magical

    candra_s, Jun 2023
    The seats were perfect. The play was AMAZING!!!! The actors had beautifully voices, great stage presence and had it wonderful. Will go back again.

    The actor who played...

    Amy_L, Jun 2023
    The actor who played Simba did not have a great singing voice, and actually missed a couple of notes during his performance. During a duet with Nala, her voice was so much better that it made his seem even worse.

    Magical experience

    Lindsey_B, May 2023
    The musical was phenomenal!!!! Got very emotional at the beginning as it was beautiful. Highly recommend.
