Beautiful theater. Caring staff at every turn. Life affirming play. Layers of creativity and talent unfolded before our eyes! I have nothing but love for our experience seeing The Lion King!

The best Broadway show I’ve ever seen. It was also our 6 year old daughter’s first Broadway show. She was captivated the entire time. Don’t second guess, purchase tickets and go. Also, love seeing and experiencing the authenticity of Africa. Don’t lose or compromise that. I’m hopeful the show stays true to this level of authenticity and consider it throughout all casting. It’s beautiful.

Andrew Totsch | Nov 22, 2018

We were in row k when we went. It was a great view There are booster seats for kids if needed. We shifted our group around to improve visibility for our kids. Best to go with a larger group in case of tall people.

How much are the tickets? Adult and child? 8 year old

Charis Acheampong | Nov 21, 2019

About $160 each

It looks good from the cheapest location?

AGUSU | Nov 21, 2019
Animesh Mehta | Nov 22, 2019

I am answering based on a Google translation of your question. The very left and very right seats ( about 5 to 8 seats) in the Orchestra sections have an overhang from the mezzanine level which obstructs the view. Try getting seats towards the center.

Is it cold inside the theater? Do you need warm clothes?

What time and street location do the audience members leave the theater after the evening performance?

Cheryl Hume | Nov 21, 2018
Andrew Cook | Nov 22, 2018

The show is about 2 hours and 30 minutes long. The audience exits in a breezeway between 44th and 45th Streets just off Broadway. If you are trying to meet someone after the show, pick a poster to stand by (ie, Rafiki, Simba, Mufasa, etc). It will be very easy to locate each other & you will be out of the crowd exiting.

IS it a muscial

Vraj Patel | Nov 21, 2018

Jimena Arias Gonzalez | Nov 21, 2018

Can a 2 year old watch this play

Angelik Bell | Nov 21, 2018
Charles Cody | Nov 22, 2018

Depends on the 2 year old. For the price of the tickets I'd personally wait until they were older. It's a great show and I just took my 10 year old and left my 4 year old at home. I'll wait until she is a little older before I take her.

Hamilton

Does touring company use all the props and costumes also?

Anita Loeck | Nov 21, 2018
Joshua Wright | Nov 22, 2018

The touring production uses all the same costumes and puppets as the sit-down productions. The only difference is that the set is slightly smaller and more transportable. For example, Pride Rock is an "accordion" set piece that comes out onstage from the wings rather than circling out of the stage floor.

Where to get the best price on ticket s

Tanesia Brown | Nov 21, 2018
Andrew Cook | Nov 22, 2018

The only LK discounts right now come once a year on Kids Night on Broadway. LK has not had any discount codes and has never been at TKTS. Like any show, ticket prices are higher near ANY holiday. If you are near the city and have very flexible dates, go to box office...no ticket fees! Good luck. Enjoy the show.
