The Lion King at Minskoff Theatre

There is no question why The Lion King remains the most-watched musicals. This season, the show is predicted to retain its crown as one of the must-see live entertainment! As it dominates the majestic Minskoff Theatre this spring, fans are given numerous dates to watch the award-winning epic! Whether you’ve seen the Lion King multiple times in the past or you're witnessing its grandeur for the first time, you’re assured to have a marvelous experience seeing one of the world’s best musicals thanks to Minskoff Theatre’s state-of-the-art accommodations and top-tier light and sound technology.

The show itself is a completely different realm of astonishing. Now running for over two decades, The Lion King remains unparalleled in terms of scenic design, music, costume, and overall presentation. With six Tony Awards and eight Drama Desk Awards under its helm, there is no doubt that the Lion King’s showing at the Minskoff Theatre this March will be packed.

Variety’s 10/10 rating for The Lion King’s Broadway production says it all. “A new breed of cats just took over Broadway. Effortlessly said, Julie Taymor's staging of Disney's "The Lion King" is a wonder, a theatrical achievement unmatched in its beauty, brains, and ingenuity. Soaring far beyond its celluloid inspiration, the stage version improves upon nearly every aspect of the hit 1994 animated movie, from visual artistry and storytelling to Lebo M's score and the newly Africanized pop songs of Elton John and Tim Rice.”

Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly appropriately called this musical “King of the Hill.” The review also ensures that no matter what version of the musical you experience – be it Broadway or touring – the show definitely deserves to be adored and enjoyed, “Amazing vision overrides any quibbles. The Lion King can make you fall in love with theater, no matter what theater it's in.”

Lastly, the New York Times was quick to comment on the musical’s “breathtaking beauty and scenic ingenuity.” The reviewer noted, “Undoubtedly, nowhere before on Broadway has a stampede of wildebeests or a herd of veldt-skimming gazelles been rendered with such eye-popping conviction. But in many ways, Ms. Taymor's vision, which is largely rooted in ritual forms of theater from Asia and Africa, collides with that of Disney, where visual spectacle is harnessed in the service of heartwarming storytelling.”

With an nearly perfect rating on Broadway World, the Lion King is undoubtedly a beloved among Broadway critics. So, it would be outrageous if you missed The Lion King musical at the Minskoff Theatre this spring!
