The Lion King at Minskoff Theatre

Nobody can resist a good story. But there is a Grand Canyon-sized difference between a normal, nothing-special kind of story and a story that has you on your toes from the get-go.

This kind of story will grabs you hook, line, and sinker!

It curls up between your ribs, and you'll carry it with you for a long time to come - and this is exactly the kind of story The Lion King is made of.

And to be frank, it's a rarity to come across performers who know how to work the magic quite like the cast of The Lion King - featuring Mduduzi Madela as Simba (one of only two South Africans to play the role on Broadway), L. Steven Taylor as Mufasa, Tony-nominee Gavin Lee as Scar, and Ntsepa Pitjeng-Molebatsi making her Broadway debut as Rafiki - it's that 'all or nothing' kind of stuff that off-the-charts stagecraft is made of.

Then we're not even talking about the exceptional choreography that is delivered with meticulousness and in perfect combination; the thrilling razzmatazz of all the special effects coming together like a charm; the phenomenal lighting that cries king of Broadway; the carefully handcrafted costumes; the visual kaleidoscope that is the scenic design, and the astounding vocal skill of the cast belting-out one show-tune after the next.

In short, The Lion King is truly a gripping Broadway experience that is on its way to the top fast. And at the helm of it all, stands a visionary, award-winning creative team who has truly created the pinnacle of live theatre - and this summer you'll get to experience it for yourself, New York!
