La mise en scène, la qualité des costumes et leur originalité.. l'humour des textes et la fidélité à l'original : tout était vraiment parfait, tout comme l'accueil et la facilité d'accès. Merci pour ce merveilleux moment que ma petite fille de 8 ans a adoré !

What a fantastic time. To start the bathrooms were extremely clean, the welcoming staff letting us know which way to go every step of the way. The show itself was spectacular. The acoustics were crisp, and colors were vibrant, the performers were amazing, and the musicians providing the background music were on point. Really enjoyed

Disney’s beloved tale of Simba’s journey from cub to king leaps from screen to stage in this visually stunning Broadway musical for all ages.

Winner of six Tony awards, including Best Musical and Best Direction for Julie Taymor (the first woman ever to win in this category), plus a 1999 Grammy for Best Musical Show Album, it’s Broadway history in motion.

Expect Julie Taymor’s visionary costumes, Garth Fagan’s choreography, and timeless songs by Elton John & Tim Rice like "Circle of Life", "Hakuna Matata", and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight", woven through breathtaking stagecraft.

Now in its 27th year at Minskoff Theatre, this third-longest-running Broadway show remains a must-see musical legend. Book your tickets for The Lion King on Broadway now!

The story

When young Simba, heir to the Pride Lands, loses his father Mufasa to the treachery of his uncle Scar, he flees in shame and self-doubt. Years later, guided by his friends and the spirit of his father, he must face his past and embrace his destiny as king. From lush African landscapes to the stampede sequence that redefined stagecraft, The Lion King on Broadway roars with emotion until Simba steps into the light, but can he truly forgive the past?

Critics reviews

“Seen purely as a visual tapestry, there is simply nothing else like it… Suddenly, you're 4 years old again, and you've been taken to the circus for the first time.”

- The New York Times

“Julie Taymor’s staging of Disney’s The Lion King is a marvel, a theatrical achievement unrivaled in its beauty, brains and ingenuity.”

- Variety
