Awesome theatre that is always showing great plays. Saw the amazing Lion King show here. This theatre is particularly large but it feels so intimate. There is nothing else like it in Theatre District

In my opinion one of the nicer theatres. It doesn't feel particularly crowded. The prices are on the expensive side, as in any entertainment venue, but at least you get a souvenir cup with your drink!

The staff here are great at keeping the crowd moving and getting everyone in their seats on time - don't be the jerk that comes in late. No pictures during the show, so just live in the moment & enjoy

I waited to watch Lion King until I could make it to NYC Broadway. Well worth it! I sat in row K and it was perfect. Close and far enough from stage to see everything. Actors come down the aisle too!

One of the best plays in town, and possibly the best theatre in B'way. Be sure to arrive a little early, and don't miss the opportunity of the great view of Times Square from the lobby.

The show is mind-blowing; the music, costumes, performance, stage transitions, lighting, everything! You'll rarely find discounts on that one (online or TKTS), but it's worth every penny. Must see!

Grandmother surprised me to see The Lion King, and definitely by far the best show I've seen & one of the most well thought out designs of a theature I've seen. It was all beautiful.

This was my first time to a broadway play. It was such an amazing experience. The music, lights action, the entire performance was an amazing experience. I recommended a must watch.

A great way to spend quality time with the family. It's simply amazing how everything is done live. The lighting, the stage transition, the amazing acting, to the background music.

Everything was amazing! The music, the costumes, the dances, and the story line reminded me how much I really loved The lion king!! I would go and see it again

Everything was incredible from the vocals of the cast to the choreography, stage set up, direction and percussionists! Don't worry about front row seats, you'll be able to enjoy from the last row!

The magic is still alive in the Minskoff Theatre! This musical brings the Disney cartoon to life in a spectacular way. The costumes, set, props,and actors all make for an incredible experience.

The Lion King is an absolutely incredible show... but drinks price is absurdly expensive (more so than other theatres) + ushers kept bringing people in during show and was super disruptive!

One of the best theatre in town. Shows are amazing; the music, costumes, performance, lighting, everything is just superb. Great time spent with friends.Prices are expensive but worth the money.
Emilia ArvidssonMay 12, 2016
The whole cast was amazing. Drinks, restrooms, staff and service was great. BUT the AC was on the entire show and it was freezing.
Crystal WardJanuary 25, 2015
For the amount of money you pay for front row, Seats should be more roomy and comfortable w/ cup holders. Drinks should not be in souvenir plastic cup, they should be in souvenir champagne glasses ;)

The highest grossing Broadway show of all time really is a must-see! In 2006 the production moved to the Minskoff Theatre, smack-dab in the middle of Times Square!
Brad HagerDecember 31, 2015
Great theater, INCREDIBLE show. The Lion King performers are awesome. Music was amazing as the costumes were vibrant and beautiful 👍😄
Richard VelazquezJanuary 23, 2012
The sets and costumes are spectacular, although young Simba and Nala could've been decorated with nice lion masks. Their lack of masks broke the experience.
Cory BrownMay 3, 2016
Watch the lion king to bring back a rush of nostalgia. Great for older kids and entertaining for adults.
Leigh Anne ZinsmeisterAugust 17, 2015
HUGE gorgeous theatre with sweeping views of Times Square (so much better from above). The show isn't bad either 😉
eric bornemannNovember 19, 2020
Not the most beautiful theater on Broadway, but the views of times square from the lobby are good to impress. Lots of elevators.
Steven VegaAugust 7, 2014
I felt like a child again, the performances were awesome, I still feel goosebumps when remember any of the songs, totally recommended!
Carina 💖October 10, 2014
I've always wanted to see this show and it was fantastic to finally make my dream come true. I think it's the most complex and fabulous show on Broadway!
Derrick L.May 7, 2012
I've been to several popular Broadway shows and this is my favorite. The details of the costumes are phenomenal. Very entertaining for sure.

Amazing! Be sure you check out the lion king here. And get cheesecake at juniors next door after.
Chris CooksonNovember 6, 2011
This musical often goes on sale for buy one get one tickets, follow their Twitter for more details on that. Saw it twice, definitely much better outside the mezzanine, cool stuff goes down the aisles.
Anay BagchiAugust 26, 2020
Lion King is a must see. Theater was clean and orderly. Very satisfied with our seats and the performance.
Lindsey KimJanuary 28, 2015
Home of the Lion King! Having a seat further back would be better for viewing the entire stage
Yetsire IglesiasMay 7, 2014
The best show ever! I loved it in every way. Is a must go when your in NYC!
Sean SmithNovember 23, 2015
Lion king costumes are amazing. If you are offered the chance to go back stage, take it!
