This was a fantastic experience.Parking: my advice is to purchase parking in advance. Go online and reserve your spot there. It’s cheaper.Dinner: all the restaurants were booked out in advance. Do not be afraid to try the not so popular ones. Check google for suggestions and reviews.The Theater: I am not a fussy theatre goer so in my opinion, all the seats were “great locations.” (see the pictures below.) According to the theater, location where we were seated were the best spots. We had an excellent view. However, it’s up to you. I would’ve settled for a cheaper seat because I can see the show pretty well from anywhere.Overall, the show, The Lion King, was outstanding. The costumes and actors were just great. I recommend this theater and show to all.

The Lion King was a breath taking performance. All of the performers were beyond amazing. So much talent & so much beauty! This was something that was on my to do list since I was a little girl. I brought my husband here for his birthday and he absolutely loved it. It was an honor to be able to witness such an amazing master piece. Every single detail of this play was amazing. I will definitely come back again with my family. Coming to see this show is a MUST.My only complaint was that they were letting people in 38 minutes into the show which obstructed the view for those of us who got there on time. I have been to minor events where you’re not allowed to come in after the show stars. I would have thought the same standards would be held for this master piece. That was my only disappointment during my visit. Maybe the theater management could consider not allowing people in after a certain time as its extremely disrespectful for the performers and also for those who made it a priority to get to the play on time.

Nice theatre, I would advise you to arrive a little before even if you have tickets because the lineup can be quite long. The Lion King is definitely a must see, the costumes are incredible. It helps if youve seen the movie first, it was nice to see how they reproduced almost all the scenes

Beautiful theater, right on Times Square and the long time location of the Lion King. The entrance was impressive, and the theater is beautiful. Why the four stars? Im average and the seats are super tight. Like rotate your body to give your wife one extra inch of space and then hope you dont drop anything because you cant reach it tight.

Wonderful show, absolute top notch. As usual, seats are ridiculously small, so I had to sit in the emergency row in the back, but all in all. First Class Broadway.

My girlfriend and I saw The Lion King here and it was something special. We absolutely loved everything about it. The theater was clean, the sound was great, and we sat up in the Mezzanine and could see everything perfectly. I would absolutely love to see another show here.

Good security, well organized crowd control. Staff is friendly. Clean bathrooms. Concession was priced fairly. Of course, the show was incredible. Beautiful theater, was a lot bigger than I imagined.

Took my family to see the Lion King and oh what a treat. Music, costumes and dancing was exquisite. A night on the town in NYC. A little pricey but worth every penny.

Lion King on Broadway is magical. Costume and set design really immerse the audience in the show. Our show experienced was dampened a bit because of some unruly patrons and ushers didnt seem to do anything about it. However, the show is so good it still gets 5/5.

I love all shows there. Always amazing customs.

My wife and I saw the Lion King here in 2019. The show was fantastic and the theater was clean and orderly. There were many employees positioned to help us get to our seats. We sat in the front row of the Mezzanine offset to the right a little bit. Row A, Seats 135 - 136. We had a great view of everything. Very satisfied with our seats and the performance.

I loved this place! I went with Family to see The Lion King on Broadway. The beauty of this theater and the friendly, helpful, accommodating staff was a great compliment to the great show inside. There were so many photo ops! From the posters of past shows to the glorious staircase leading up to the theater. I spent way too much on souvenirs and I dont regret a single penny! Loved my time here. I will be back.

Great theatre. Sat in the mezzanine level, first row on the right side. Amazing view although you cant see a little bit of the right side of the stage. Not enough to be annoying though. Better prices sitting up there make it a good value. Bathrooms are nice and very clean.

Amazing 10/10 Ive never seen a production set come alive like that of the Lion King. This just blew us away. There are literally no bad seats in this theatre, its only a matter of how comfortable you are sitting nearer or further. Awesome theater, with orchestra, band and percussionists. Beautiful state of the art experience.

In a word...WOW!!! My Dad, my Niece and I went to see The Lion King on Broadway and we were not disappointed. We were dazzled by everything from the marquee, to the posters on the wall that paid homage to past shows. I spent way too much on souvenirs but it was well worth it. There were just so many photo ops! This beautiful theater was a very regal compliment to the fabulous show performed on its stage... WE LOVED IT!

Saw The Lion King. You MUST see this show. You do not have to be a fan of musicals to appreciate EVERYTHING in this production. The creativity of the costumes and sets are unparalleled. Left us speechless... then singing/humming/whistling the songs through the Theatre District, back to our hotel.

Staff was absolutely amazing here! One, I took my mother to see a show here. She has a difficult time walking. As soon as the person at the door saw that, she directed us to the nearest elevator. It is easily accessible for those with wheelchairs and canes. Second, rows were spacious and seats were very comfortable. There were plenty of bathrooms and barely a line. Also, the sound in this theatre travelled beautiful.

The Lion King was an incredible show! We had great seats, but it looked like you could see, no matter where you sat.

Excellent, excellent theatre. Without question, one of the roomier theaters, with the architecture being such that any seat in the house is a good seat (and we were in the very last row, mezzanine, dead center). And of course, the Lion King is simply incredible. I havent seen many Broadway shows but, this undoubtedly ranks in the top two! WOW!!!

Watched the Lion King here. The performance was amazing. The theatre design is great with wonderful ambience to support the performance.

Amazing performance all around, alil of the old and some new songs and scenes! The atmosphere was perfect with the performers walking in between the audience and the visual was just breathtaking! I would recommend anyone who ever enjoyed the movie to go and see the Broadway play!

The Minskoff Theatre is where The Lion King Broadway Musical is being played at. Its a must try, at least once in your life. Or when your visiting NYC.Its a faithful adaptation of the movie it was based on, and with some surprises added.

Loved the location and the facilities. Clean. Great seats that were comfortable. Hope to see another play here. Only issue was concessions. Never got to the front of the line during intermission.

Such an amazing theatre with a great staff all around.

This show was amazing. On Broadway there is a difference between shows and Broadway shows, the lion king is a Broadway show. Just because your on Broadway, doesnt mean your a Broadway show. If you watch the lion King and watch any other show, youll see the difference.

I saw Lion King here on lottery same day tickets. What a show!!! Was sitting near the back of the theater and still had a great view. A few beer options. Full liquor bar with some lion king themed drinks. Standard theater popcorn and candy.

A little cramped, but I’ve heard all Broadway theaters are. Also, a little annoyed that our “aisle” seats had a rail in the way. Anyway. They were very hospitable and the show was phenomenal. They had plenty of gift shops, and the bathrooms could be a little bigger.

Great theater in the heart of one of New York citys most congested neighborhoods. The staff are highly trained and professional so getting to your seats was as seamless as possible. We were in the mezzanine and had great sight lines to the stage. The acoustics are also very good and the decor was excellent.

We saw the Lion King here and I dont think there was a bad seat in the house. The show was incredible with the best costumes I have ever seen in a show! The performers, music, choreography, and everything was spectacular!

A great theatre and mostly well organised. My only critique is we were told doors open at 12 but we got there on time and were one of the first few patrons through the door. We reached the Mezzanine level as instructed and the lady on the door was very snippy and said that the doors do not open until 12:30 which is fine but I did not appreciate her tone. A few other patrons came through and the attitude continued as well. Eventually we made a line on our own to await 12:30 but I really feel that if this happens regularly a sign at the mezzanine level might be worthwhile so that patrons can have the knowledge and so that the staff wont be so grumpy.

Went to see the Lion King with my wife and all I can say is this is EXCELLENT. the stage production, stage movement and acting made this the highlight of our week long trip to New York. I am not a theatre goer normally, but this was epic. Anyone going to NY I would say dont leave without going :)

Great theater and lion king show was amazing. The seats were comfortable, box office line moved quickly and efficient entering and leaving show. Do be aware the left and right inner isle seats in the orchestra seating have railings starting about ten rows from stage. So your isle seat is a good view but you are stuck as you have to exit the row on the opposite side. It is this way due to show activity in the aisles.

We went and saw the lion king on a thursday night. The show was great and differed from the tour a little bit with the stage having more mobility. The seats in this theater were great and Im 67 and had plenty of knee space so it is tall people friendly.

We saw the Lion King Musical and I can confidently say after seeing many Broadway Shows that this theatre is the best by far. There is ample room in each seat, the venue itself is relatively large for a Broadway show and it doesn’t feel as if you’re cramped. The view onto Times Square as you go up the first set of escalators is spectacular. The bathrooms are clean and modern and each level of the building has its own set of escalators. The only thing I might think of negatively is the price of concessions and merchandise (there are alcoholic drinks available) but it is run by Disney so it makes sense as to why it would all be so expensive.

The lion king play is one of the best Ive ever seen on Broadway. Must see!

We went to see Lion King and got in line about 20 minutes for the doors opened. My wife needs a hip replacement so she uses a cane to help her walk. We were in line less than 5 minutes when one of the theater staff comes and offers for my wife and I to come inside so she wont need to stay outside in the cold. Shortly before they opened the doors, the staff let my wife and I head upstairs. This was incredible! While she can walk ok with the cane, she is slower than normal so it was nice to be able for her to move at her own pace. Once we got in, another staff member directed my wife to a bench where she could sit until the theater doors open.The theater itself is gorgeous and well maintained. The refreshment bar has the standard theater fair but also had special theme drinks to go along with the show.After the show was over, we headed over to the escalators, which were turned off (as is normal for most venues) and my wife said she wanted to wait until the end so she could take her time going down. Within a minute or two of standing there, an employee noticed my wife and asked if she needed help. We told her we were going to wait at which point she called to another employee who took us around the other side of the theater to the elevator.Even if no one acknowledged us, we would have had a great time. The fact the staff was aware of people needing assistance and took the time to help them only made it that much better. Kudos to an amazing staff!!

This was my wife and I first time at Broadway in New York city, and the experience at this location was amazing, from start to finish. If I can find one thing negative was the drinks and memorabilia were a bit over price. But everything else was top notch!

There’s not a bad seat in the house. We saw Lion King. The staff was super friendly, especially the guy selling the souvenirs. My kids loved the play. My youngest liked that you could bring in the snacks you buy during intermission. Small thing, but he was impressed.

Every seat is great here! I got day of tickets and they were at the back row on the bottom level and they were amazing seats.Lion king was a great show!

Watched the Lion King at this theatre and it was absolutely amazing. It was an unforgettable experience seeing the show live - the action, the actors, the costumes, the sets, everything was on point. The show kept everyone captivated the entire time! This is a must see for everyone.

Amazing show. Watched musical lion king for my birthday with love. The best broadway musical ever.

The Minskoff Theater was great!!! Seen the Lion King I was very impressed and will go back to see is again. My hat goes off to the cast and crew for a job well done!!

Pretty good, the seats were comfortable and the staff were very friendly.The view from the mezzanine level second row back were excellent.I think they should sell all items from the stores on each level, as some of the things were only available at the ground floor store.

Absolutely amazing show. A must see in NYC. With every cent for the tickets. The staff are brilliant and so friendly and they make sure the crowd are quiet and arent on phones etc. Cant go to New York City without seeing this show!!Great location and the souvenirs are reasonably priced.Would highly recommend.

We went for Lion King. We sent in prime Mezzanine which gave a perfect view. We were offered boosters for the kids too, which helped a lot for them to see. My kids are 10 and 6 and both benefited from the booster. It was an amazing show!!

Saw The Lion King with my sister for her birthday. We saw the 2 pm show. It was amazing.The cast was perfect and did so well. I enjoyed every second. Me and my sister was still singing the songs hours after the performance!

Truly magical place. From the staff to the night performance of The Lion King. Was seated very quickly and politely and the restroom lines were very quick and always very clean. Thank you for an amazing night for me and my family

There are only good seats I think. The theatre shows the amazing musical The Lion King. Clear recommendation - it was marvellous. Its on the time square /broadway in Manhattan.

Amazing staff. The best I have ever seen. And must watch Broadway - The Lion King. Great acting, costumes, dialogues and music. Everything was just perfect.

Cant wait to experience another show at this venue. Every seat was a great one!

The most spectacular show Ive ever seen! The use of props and costumes was unbelievable... And as for the singing and music... It was brilliant!

Beautiful place. The Lion King cannot be expressed in words. my GF bought us front row aisle seats and my god did it make the experience so great. The theater was refreshingly clean and pretty not like the surrounding area. It overlooks Times Square so when the show was over we are 3 stories up looking into the heart of Times Square.

Very beautiful theater but man is the mezzanine HOT during plays. Someone who works at the theater even came in with a temperature laser thing so theyre clearly aware of it. I suggest bringing a paper fan or something to cool you down because it was like an oven.

What an extraordinary show, excellent performance by cast. Unforgettable!!! No bad seat.

Must go . One of the best experiences I have. If you can afford try to get the mezzanine seats so you can enjoy the show

Once in a Life Time Opportunity at Time Square. Lively Excellent Performance of every Character of the.LiON KINGs Show. Must Must Reccomend every Tourist to Watch the Show.

Incredible show, great artists and a thrilling story, The Lion King remains the best Broadway musical in my opinion. We picked seats in the second row and the view on stage was fantastic, everything was so close, you feel like you‘re an artist participating in this musical as well.

This was my first time ever attending a Broadway Play (was treated to seeing the Lion King) and it was AMAZING!!!!

Won lottery tickets to watch Lion King! We were in Row T with unobstructed view. Threatre looked newer than some other ones that we had gone to and ushers were professional. Actors and props were awesome, especially Rafiki!

A very nice experience watching Lion King. Mesmerizing show. Theater is beautiful well managed by trained personnel who were very polite while managing such a big crowd. A show not to missed.

Saw the Lion King at this wonderful theater, it was quite a show! We sat in the mezzanine, but still had a great view of the stage, the acoustics were fantastic, had no problem enjoying everything about this fabulous production. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful theater and the performance was spectacular. No coat check made our seats very uncomfortable.

Loved the play - Lion King Live

We arrived about 30 minutes before our show started. It wasn’t crowded yet which made for easy entrance (very friendly staff) & made picture taking enjoyable! There also wasn’t a line for the bathroom which of course is crazy busy during intermission. Grab a drink and a snack & enjoy the show!

The Lion King is a must see. Outstanding, exceptional...go see it! The ushers are a bit like drill sergeants, and some not too friendly. I get that there are large crowds and you need to keep a certain order, but when Im paying such a high price for a show...please stop shouting at me. You can get your point across in a slightly more gentle fashion.

Huge theater, lobby was impressive; stage was very nice. Show wasnt really my thing; but man was it hot in there, people left at intermission because of it

Lion King was amazing! Worth every penny. You wont regret it. The drinks menu was amazing and I loved that they had a gift shop and not just small kiosks. Staff was friendly as well.

It is not a fancy place inside. Just one colorful curtain. The seats have lost their cushioning. There are plenty of restrooms which is great. The giant window is impressive.

Perfect musical show! Amazing actors and actresses makes fantastic harmony and breathtaking show. Definitely must see show during new york trip. Arrive 1 hr previous to show hour may give better entry.

My first Broadway play was seen here and it was amazing. The Lion King production came alive as the actors used the aisles, mezzanine and stage to give the sense of expanse. The set transitions were very well done. This also added some extra bits of dialog and Rafiki was a stand out performance.

Had a great evening at the Minskoff Theatre. The accomodations were great. Staff was very friendly. The theatre was very nice. Seating was comfortable and everything was very clean. The show itself (Lion King) was outstanding. Visually stunning and amazing performances.

Had a fantastic time seeing Lion King. The theater and staff were extremely nice and the show is absolutely amazing, the cast is wonderfully talented, the costumes and stage design, puppetry etc is just beautiful. It would have been an absolutely perfect experience if it wasn’t for people constantly talking, checking their phones/smartwatches and lighting up the entire theater, or even taking flash photos. You can live without your phone or taking pictures for 2 hours, I promise.

Great place. We watched The Lion King, and it was fantastic experience. Everything was well organized . A must visit.

Lion King is an amazing show. Theatre personnel are helpful to move everyone along. Theres never really a wait except for a small one at the concession stand. Talented stars in the Lion King

Lion King excellent Family Show

The art in Lion king is phenomenal but the theatre itself was ok. Style is more modern and minimalistic as it is not adorned as other more traditional theatres. surprisingly the stage was kind of small but it has its secrets and did its magic for the show.

Saw Lion King and was not disappointed. Sat on the isle in the orchestra section and was just left of center. No issues with the view and the volume of music. I would have rated 5 stars if they served popcorn.

Amazing theater right in the heart of Times Square. Went to see The Lion King and was not disappointed. Not a huge theater but but still was beautiful nonetheless.

The costumes are amazing, lighting and everything was fantastic. But as a more traditional musical lover, Cats was much better, and honestly was slightly disappointed by lion king in terms of the vocals. I watched this in premium seat which was pretty pricey, but not sure if it was worth it. But again, one of the musicals you have to see in your lifetime.

The Lion King was excellent and really enjoyed the experience at this theater! This theater is on the newer side compared to others in town, and the lobby and restrooms are spacious. Staff were efficient and friendly!

The Lion King show was amazing, but the seats are on the smaller side. I suggest getting a seat on the aisle so you can stretch your legs for a bit. Otherwise., staff were friendly, bathrooms were clean before and after the show. The show was amazing, so giving 4 starts.

I went here for the taping of Oprahs super soul Sunday. Beautiful venue. Awesome food and seating

Amazing Beautiful fantastic theater

Wonderful experience! And the show!!! A must see. And no one is paying me to say that. I am just happy when I see beauty. Art at another level.

The Lion King is without a doubt the best musical i have seen in Broadway. Absolutely stunning performances all around. A must see!

Beautiful theatre, and The Lion King was amazing. The merchandise and drinks were extremely expensive though.

Saw the Lion King tonight. It was a fantastic performance all the way through and had amazing music and set design. Highly recommend

The only thing that should be changed would be making it a little easier to leave. All escalators go up when you enter. They then shut off the escalators during the show to allow travel in both directions (For access to the restrooms). When leaving, they should reverse the escalators instead of leaving them off.

Lion King was awesome! If you get the chance, its a must see!

Clean,knowledgeable staff nice bathrooms & well-stocked gift shop counters.

Saw the Lion King here and it was amazing. So glad I was able to see it on Broadway!! This theater also have a great view of Time Square. Was able to get a great time lapse video after the show

Got to see my very first Broadway show and it was amazing!! Even if you dont like musicals, The Lion King is a really cool experience. The costumes and the concepts for the animals was fantastic and the actors were top notch! I will definitely be coming back again!

Excellent theatre and atmosphere. Show was spectacular and amazing. After the show was over the theatre allowed guests to take their time to look around and buy souvenirs unlike the majestic theatre that chased everyone out seconds after the show was over.

First time seeing the Lion King. It was amazing. The theatre was so nice and customer service was great.

The Lion king is one of the best show on broadway

My first Broadway Show, we seen Lion King and it was amazing. The Actors & actress were very talented. Some of the souvenirs were very expensive. However the slushie with the souvenir cup was only $8 and it was good.

Saw an absolutely amazing production of the Lion King here but also enjoyed wonderful facilities. I would definitely attend another performance here!

What an amazing show, so creative, so colorful and so beautiful! Go see lion king even if you dont have kids to take as an excuse. Worth every penny

I recently watched the Lion King show at this theater. The staffs were friendly. I was on the upper level and the view was great. The show was absolutely amazing, all the characters were so enthusiastic and energetic. It brought a lot of childhood memory by watching this wonderful show !!

I saw The Liin King there. Great theatre
