There is no question why The Lion King remains to be the most highly watched musicals. This season, the show is expected to retain its status as one of the must-see live entertainment! As it dominates the splendid Minskoff Theatre this winter, fans are given numerous dates to watch the award-winning epic! Whether you’ve seen the Lion King several times in the past or you're witnessing its grandeur for the first time, you’re assured to have a fantastic experience seeing one of the world’s greatest musicals thanks to Minskoff Theatre’s state-of-the-art accommodations and top-tier light and sound technology.
The show itself is a whole other dimension of astonishing. Now showing for over two decades, The Lion King remains unmatched 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 question that the Lion King’s performance at the Minskoff Theatre this February will be fully packed.
Variety’s 10/10 rating for The Lion King’s Broadway production says it all. “A new generation of cats just took over Broadway. Simply said, Julie Taymor's staging of Disney's "The Lion King" is a wonder, a theatrical achievement unrivaled in its beauty, brains, and address. Leaping far beyond its celluloid inspiration, the stage version advances upon nearly every aspect of the hit 1994 animated film, from eye-catching artistry and storytelling to Lebo M's score and the newly Africanized pop songs of Elton John and Tim Rice.”
Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly correctly called this musical “King of the Hill.” The critique also ensures that no matter what version of the musical you experience – be it Broadway or touring – the show definitely deserves to be cherished and appreciated, “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, “Without a doubt, 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 almost perfect rating on Broadway World, the Lion King is certainly a beloved among Broadway critics. So, it would be unthinkable if you missed The Lion King musical at the Minskoff Theatre this winter! So be sure to catch the show on Monday 19th February 2024 as it lights up the stage with its acclaimed production! Get your tickets now by clicking on the Get Tickets link!
