I had respect for the cast, crew, The Lion King, and Minskoff Theater. They also informed us before the start of the show, that there was no video or photography permitted. The musical sets were simply amazing and all of the actors did a spectacular job portraying the story of The Lion King. The set was extremely colorful, bright, and engaging. All of the costume and set designs were simply breathtaking and amazing. The show did start on time and the big opening act was simply spectacular.

The seating is all one level, so you have to look over the person’s head in front of you to see. We got excellent seats with a great view of the stage. Once we purchased our drinks, we made our way down to the orchestra section where we were assisted by staff who showed us to our seats. The orange Creamsicle slushy was really refreshing, sweet, and delicious. We did purchase pretzels, the orange Creamsicle slushy, and the mango slushy. There’s also a couple of nice bars which serve snacks, alcoholic beverages, and non-alcoholic beverages.

We did purchase a hoodie, T-shirt, bracelets, and keychains. They did have really nice gift shops inside which featured Lion King souvenirs. Masks are not required at this theater, but are encouraged. The theater was definitely clean, well-maintained, and tastefully decorated to incorporate The Lion King theme. The playhouse is decorated very well with African themed elements. I purchased tickets at the box office the same evening. Upon arrival outside, we were able to view the portraits of famous cast members including: Rafiki, Nala, and Simba. We knew we were there, when we saw the big bright yellow The Lion King sign and sprinkling bright lights. This play is held at the Minskoff Theatre and appears to have shows daily and weekly. We viewed this black centric play on Friday, Augat The Minskoff Theatre. “The Lion King” is definitely one of them.

People know in advance that the show is going to be a breath-taking sight! Tony Award-winning musicals are famous for their tough acts to follow. Tickets for “The Lion King” on US tour are sold out right away when a new block goes on sale. The favorite musical of the late 90s comes back to the big scene – Disney announces the USA tour of The Lion King.
