โณ๐ถ๐โJuly 24, 2016Awesome theatre that is always showing great plays. Saw the amazing Lion King show here. This theatre is particularly large but it feels so intimate. There is nothing else like it in Theatre District
Upvoted 2 weeks ago- โณ๐ถ๐โJuly 24, 2016In my opinion one of the nicer theatres. It doesn't feel particularly crowded.ย The prices are on the expensive side, as in any entertainment venue, but at least you get a souvenir cup with your drink!
- โณ๐ถ๐โJuly 24, 2016The staff here are great at keeping the crowd moving and getting everyone in their seats on time - don't be the jerk that comes in late. No pictures during the show, so just live in the moment & enjoy
Ailie ChangJanuary 28, 2015I waited to watch Lion King until I could make it to NYC Broadway. Well worth it! I sat in row K and it was perfect. Close and far enough from stage to see everything. Actors come down the aisle too!- Julio VillarrealAugust 22, 2015One of the best plays in town, and possibly the best theatre in B'way. Be sure to arrive a little early, and don't miss the opportunity of the great view of Times Square from the lobby.
- Alaa ShakerAugust 27, 2014The show is mind-blowing; the music, costumes, performance, stage transitions, lighting, everything! You'll rarely find discounts on that one (online or TKTS), but it's worth every penny. Must see!
Andrew CFebruary 10, 2017The Lion King is an absolutely incredible show... but drinks price is absurdly expensive (more so than other theatres) + ushers kept bringing people in during show and was super disruptive!
Krisanta FiloteoOctober 3, 2013Everything was incredible from the vocals of the cast to the choreography, stage set up, direction and percussionists! Don't worry about front row seats, you'll be able to enjoy from the last row!
Berlin MurielFebruary 24, 2014This was my first time to a broadway play. It was such an amazing experience. The music, lights action, the entire performance was an amazing experience. I recommended a must watch.
Kianna RenningerApril 11, 2016Grandmother surprised me to see The Lion King, and definitely by far the best show I've seen & one of the most well thought out designs of a theature I've seen. It was all beautiful.
Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013The magic is still alive in the Minskoff Theatre! This musical brings the Disney cartoon to life in a spectacular way. The costumes, set, props,and actors all make for an incredible experience.
Kathleen VargasJune 17, 2015Everything was amazing! The music, the costumes, the dances, and the story line reminded me how much I really loved The lion king!! I would go and see it again
Emilia ArvidssonMay 12, 2016The whole cast was amazing. Drinks, restrooms, staff and service was great. BUT the AC was on the entire show and it was freezing.
Crystal WardJanuary 25, 2015For the amount of money you pay for front row, Seats should be more roomy and comfortable w/ cup holders. Drinks should not be in souvenir plastic cup, they should be in souvenir champagne glasses ;)
Teresa DcruzSeptember 15, 2020One of the best theatre in town. Shows are amazing; the music, costumes, performance, lighting, everything is just superb. Great time spent with friends.Prices are expensive but worth the money.
Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013A great way to spend quality time with the family. It's simply amazing how everything is done live. The lighting, the stage transition, the amazing acting, to the background music.
New York HabitatMay 15, 2012The highest grossing Broadway show of all time really is a must-see! In 2006 the production moved to the Minskoff Theatre, smack-dab in the middle of Times Square!
Richard VelazquezJanuary 23, 2012The sets and costumes are spectacular, although young Simba and Nala could've been decorated with nice lion masks. Their lack of masks broke the experience.- Brad HagerDecember 31, 2015Great theater, INCREDIBLE show. The Lion King performers are awesome. Music was amazing as the costumes were vibrant and beautiful ๐๐
eric bornemannNovember 19, 2020Not the most beautiful theater on Broadway, but the views of times square from the lobby are good to impress. Lots of elevators.
Cory BrownMay 3, 2016Watch the lion king to bring back a rush of nostalgia. Great for older kids and entertaining for adults.
Steven VegaAugust 7, 2014I felt like a child again, the performances were awesome, I still feel goosebumps when remember any of the songs, totally recommended!
Ubeyd DalmisDecember 17, 2015Great theater! Seats are comfortable. Lobby was spacious and clean. Of course the Lion King was awesome! Read more- Kevin VincentMarch 22, 2017Amazing! Be sure you check out the lion king here. And get cheesecake at juniors next door after.
Derrick L.May 7, 2012I've been to several popular Broadway shows and this is my favorite. The details of the costumes are phenomenal. Very entertaining for sure.- Anay BagchiAugust 26, 2020Lion King is a must see. Theater was clean and orderly. Very satisfied with our seats and the performance.
Leigh Anne ZinsmeisterAugust 17, 2015HUGE gorgeous theatre with sweeping views of Times Square (so much better from above). The show isn't bad either ๐
Carina ๐October 10, 2014I've always wanted to see this show and it was fantastic to finally make my dream come true. I think it's the most complex and fabulous show on Broadway!
Philipp StummerFebruary 21, 2013If you're in NYC it's a must see! Wonderful musical, excellent performances and absolutely worth the money!
Chris CooksonNovember 6, 2011This musical often goes on sale for buy one get one tickets, follow their Twitter for more details on that. Saw it twice, definitely much better outside the mezzanine, cool stuff goes down the aisles.
Lindsey KimJanuary 28, 2015Home of the Lion King! Having a seat further back would be better for viewing the entire stage
ReemOJuly 18, 2015You'll turn into a child again and sing all disney's songs๐๐ highly recommend๐๐ผ #The_Lion_King
THE LION KING is in its 13th year on Broadway and still feels as fresh as it did when it first opened. It's one of the most visually-stunning musicals ever created. Read more

Austin VegasNovember 26, 2018Great theater but lines at Intermission are crazy long; so get your business done before it starts.
XandeMay 11, 2013"The Lion King" is one of must-see shows here on Broadway!! Incredible, magical, impressive!!!
Yetsire IglesiasMay 7, 2014The best show ever! I loved it in every way. Is a must go when your in NYC!

Sam MoellerMay 24, 2016This is so awesome theater of the USA .I go to the my family and enjoy this look movie in the theater
Carol ClarkSeptember 7, 2011Try to spend the extra money to sit in the orchestra section, and ask for an aisle seat... it'll be worth it!
