  • The LION KING; It Roars and then wimps.

    Jul 09 '04
    Pros: Fantastic opening scene
    Cons: The scenes, dialog, and acting do not flow well.

    Summary: Even though I live near NYC and the Lion King has been in production over six years I just recently witnessed for the very first time. I have been very aware of the hype Disney has received for the show, and also how many people love this extravaganza. ...

  • The Lion King: Takes over Broadway

    Summary: I am from Salt Lake City Utah, and I traveled to New York two years ago, (March of 2009) to see my first Broadway, The Lion King. The TheaterOur choir group of about 50 students filed into the Minskoff Theatre in the heart of Times ...

  • Dont bring the kids

    Mar 19 '11
    Pros: Awesome actors and stage effects!
    Cons: A little long, so dont bring the little kids

    Summary: I went to see this show a couple of years ago and I personally loved it!!  My brother and dad on the other hand weren’t the biggest fans in the world. But then again, it’s a broadway show and if a kid doesn’t really want to go see ...

  • The Lion King; The Musical

    Feb 09 '09
    Pros: amazing singing, dancing, acting, use of stage, and costumes!
    Cons: The lyrics can get lost from the loud orchestra.

    Summary: After hearing all the wonderful things about the Lion King musical, I finally got a chance to see it. Let me tell you, the rumors are true.  The Lion King was created by choreographer Garth Fagan in 1997. That year, the play won a Tony Award for its ...

  • Lion King in Raleigh-was Awesome!

    Oct 05 '06
    Pros: costumes, acting, comedy
    Cons: none really, but it is long, made for a late night

    Summary: I have never seen a broadway show and to be honest, never thought I would. But, my mother surprised me with tickets to the 10/4/06 Lion King show in Raleigh, NC. We had balcony seats, but still had a great view of the show. I was not expecting it to keep ...

  • Absolutely a MUST SEE!

    Jun 25 '06
    Pros: Inspiring for all ages. Incredible artistic production!
    Cons: Don't expect a replica of Disney, it is a true theatrical performance!

    Summary: As a theater design student, this was once of the most incredible and memorable shows I have ever seen. I went for a matinee in the middle of the week and it was sold out. Between the lighting, scenic, costumes, and acting, if you are a theater ...

  • King of the Stage

    Jul 20 '05
    Pros: The costumes, most of the music.
    Cons: Too long for kids.

    Summary: Although I have never seen "Lion King" on Broadway, I've managed to see it three times in Chicago. Fortunately, the touring company does a fantastic job; unlike "Wicked," where the roadshow's special effects are a poor substitute for the broom-flying ...

  • The Lion King: Sydney, Australia

    Oct 24 '04
    Pros: Even non-theatre goers will be captivated!
    Cons: Blink and you'll miss some of the performances.

    Summary: With the success of The Lion King production in the United States, it was only natural progression that it would come to Australia. Currently showing in Sydney, Australia at the Capitol Theatre, the show's season has been extended several times already ...

  • For the light hearted and the short legged

    May 17 '04
    Pros: costumes, comic relief characters
    Cons: New Amsterdam Theater

    Summary: On May 1st, I went to go see the Lion King musical at the New Amsterdam theater in NYC. Now this being the first Broadway show I have ever been to, I was unsure what to expect. I purchased tickets to the 8pm show through Ticketmaster sometime in March ...

  • Overwhelmingly Dull - What's all the fuss about?

    May 11 '03
    Pros: Costumes, Puppetry, Scar
    Cons: Young actors, thin plot

    Summary: We just saw the Chicago production today - maybe it was because of Mother's Day, but the audience was teeming with children... even infants that certainly couldn't even stay awake during the 3 hours+ show.
    Why anyone would bring a crying baby to a...

  • The Lion King, Roars To Life in A Roadshow Near You

    Jan 07 '03
    Pros: Outstanding choreography, costumes, puppetry and sets
    Cons: Pricy but worth it!

    Summary: For my birthday last August my daughter surprised me with 2 tickets to see the road show of The Lion King for when it made its arrival at the Broward theater of Performing arts in Ft. Lauderdale....Being that I am a Leo, and have a deep...

  • The Lion King on Broadway - Tips if you plan to go.

    Oct 12 '02
    Pros: Lion King on Broadway is fabulous. It's smart, funny, and exotic.
    Cons: Yes, the tickets are expensive. Yes, the show is worth the cost.

    Summary: My “family pick” for our summer vacation to New York City was a Broadway Show. As we planned our trip, the two boys (ages 9 and 12), the dad-person, and I looked over all the things to see and do in the Big Apple and each selected one...

  • Why Oh Why Julie Taymor???

    Sep 20 '02
    Pros: Direction
    Cons: Everything Else

    Summary: The Lion King was the best animated film of the mud-90's. The Lion King was the worst musical of the late 90's. The costumes are dull, the set design is bland, and the lighting glaring. There is no sympathy for these characters, and wanted to leave even...

  • The Lion King on Broadway: A Must-See in NYC!

    Jun 29 '02
    Pros: costumes, writing, chants, music, actors, scenery
    Cons: some of the songs not from the movie didn't seem to fit in as well

    Summary: One thing the events of September 11th did for me was give me a new appreciation for living so close to New York City. To that end, I am taking advantage of all that it has to offer. I took my 11 year old and 7 year old daughters to see The ...

  • See this while you can!

    Jun 25 '02
    Pros: Costumes, masks, and songs
    Cons: none I can think of.

    Summary: If you are in Los Angeles thru the end of the year, spend the money it takes to see this play and sit as close to the stage as you possibly can. First of all, the Pantages Theater, really in Hollywood, has been restored by Disney. It is art deco at its...
