59Here’s what we think: Review by Headout
Disney's iconic drama roars to life on stage in an adaptation that manages to capture both the grand sweep of the story and its intimate emotional core. Director Julie Taymor's version doesn't just retell the beloved classic – it reinvents it with a theatrical language all its own. As giraffes gracefully stilt-walk down the aisles and a massive elephant puppet lumbers by, you'll find yourself transported to the African savanna faster than you can say Hakuna Matata. Strap on for the journey of a lifetime as you witness Simba’s transformation from a carefree cub to the rightful king ruling over Broadway for decades.

Adam Feldman,
Time Out4/5
“Julie Taymor takes a reactionary Disney cartoon about the natural right of kings...and transforms it into a gorgeous celebration of color and movement.”
Greg Evans,
Variety“This Stephen Schwartz curio comes to vivid life in a beautifully judged revival that’s equal parts goofy and yearning.”
Richard Zoglin,
Time Magazine“Taymor's imaginative ideas seem limitless. It's a gorgeous, gasp-inducing spectacle. Most important - against all odds - it has innocence.”
Ben Brantley,
The New York Times"Seen purely as a visual tapestry, there is simply nothing else like it."

The ticketing process was easy and typical app based purchase. The show was so fun. It was a perfect blend of actual D&D, improve and Broadway spectacle. The audience interaction as a story telling driver was so enjoyable. The actor/players were engaging and exciting. Having a "team" to root for kept the interaction lively. I would love to return, just to experience another adventure.

Everything. Outstanding set design, wow costumes and flawless actors. Too bad there were no earphones to listen to the show in the language. That would have been perfect, but still it was wonderful all the same. For those who go to New York, you can't miss a show like this.
