I saw this show 4 years ago with my family, and we were all just blown away. I thought it was the best Broadway show I'd ever seen (out of a dozen or more). Now I'm bringing a favorite cousin to New York. She has never seen a Broadway show, and this is the one I picked to bring her to see!! I loved it and can't wait to see it again. Yes, I would take children to see it...my grandchildren were 6 and 10 when we saw it, and they loved it.

I splurged to take my daughter to the show for her 7th birthday and neither of us were disappointed! Spectacle was not just for spectacle's sake, Taymor did a wonderful job of bringing the story to life without it being "over the top". Overall a birthday she will not soon forget!

From the opening curtain to the final call, emotional, riveting!!! Truly a show for the ages!!!

First off, I would give this 100/5 stars if I could. I was so moved by this musical. Everything about the show is absolutely amazing, but the music is why I wish I could see it again. The songs "Circle of Life" and "They/He Lives in You" will bring out some of the strongest emotions you will ever experience. I was fighting back tears of sheer amazment and joy for the entire performance. This is a show for all ages and all people EVERYWHERE. If I ever am in NYC again, or anywhere else where this is playing I would not hesitate for 1 second to buy a ticket and go again. The show was just amazing. I cannot say enough good things about it. I bought the soundtrack after the show because I enjoyed the music so much. The songs mentioned before, especially "Return to Pride Rock/Circle of life (refrain)" will bring you to tears if you just sit and soak in the beauty of the music. Also, the chorus of singers dressed in traditional African clothing, were breathtaking. See it! Then see it again!

I was excited to watch the Lion King . I became teary-eyed , when it started..the costumes, scene setting. music was beautiful. It was emotionally moving with an important message about life. loyalty and family. I will never forget it. Go see it

Amazing show, loved every minute. Will always remember my 43rd birthday as this show made it, along with being in New York. Highly recommend, there are no bad seats in this theatre.
