Never ever been to a live show like this before and loved every minute of it. It was very entertaining and kept us amazed throughout all of the show. I enjoyed it that much in NYC i have bought tickets for my wife and i to see the show here in Australia. You would be crazy not to do this... More

Loved the music and awesome dancing and song. Creative costumes and an all around excellent show. The theater is large, and we sat up high which did not detract from views or experience.

Lively and interesting broadway show where the background and animination mimic feel real especially the "cheetah" and the "lion king itself"

A visual masterpiece.. While this is one of the most generic shows to see in the theater district, it's still incredible. The costumes alone make the show worth seeing. A great show for people of any age.
