The Original London Cast of THE LION KING

[@robc317]

The most amazing thing about this show, aside from the performances, is how they took an animated feature film, with not one single human character in it, and transformed and translated it so brilliantly to the stage. The imagination, costumes, puppetry, and artistry are just amazing!

[@CaLiAli20]

This is hands down the most amazing production I have ever seen! It was simply sensational. If you have not seen it and it comes to a city near you, you MUST see it. It is worth every penny no matter the price... spectacular.

[@broadwaymike92]

Saw it on Broadway 6 years ago..... WOW!!! The entire production is so breathtaking. Can't wait to see it there again ASAP when its safe to return.

[@kittykat8905]

I waited 11 years to see this show in London and it was definately worth the wait when I saw it in June this year. The Lion King is my favourite film ever and seeing it on stage was an experience I'll never forgot. I cried like 3 times and no musical I've seen has done that to me and I've seen a lot of shows. I'd reccomend EVERYONE see this show. It's just brilliant!

[@BronxBob]

The opening number in the Broadway Production had me in tears. It is an amazing show, that should be shared with someone.

[@daantje283]

The best musical i've ever seen.. Seen it 2 times, 1 time in holland, and 1 time in london, and in london it was ridiculous good :)

[@rickshabusky4553]

I really want this on Disney plus

[@theamazingandtalentedblake8296]

Skye Nwaelleh Africa truly is magnificent and beautiful when it comes to its nature , wildlife , history and culture

[@romevi]

Just saw it this weekend. Holy cow was it brilliant. When Simba walked up Pride Rock at the end, I really felt like he was some mighty king rising to his throne.

[@beCrunchy]

Saw it two days ago in london. the performance was simply brilliant! it was my favorite movie when I used to be a child and brought back so many good memories! I enjoyed every second and got choked up.. thank you so much for an amazing evening!

[@grappigeeuropa]

Last Tuesday I got the chance to visit the show on Broadway. Amazingly, we were sitting in the first row center seats. It was an amazing experience.

[@lucyholden5172]

My dad made the baby simba , Zazu and timone so proud of him :) and not that long ago I got to see all the props and costumes back stage it was amazing!!!

Rafiki was AMAZING....I've never heard a more powerful and soul felt voice like that.

[@LauraLarks]

I watched this!! I had goose bumps from the moment the curtain was up..... through the interval and on the 3 hour drive home afterwards..... absolutely AWESOME (That was a decade ago and watching this still had the same effect) xxxx

[@kylekeller3398]

Best show on Broadway! 🦁

[@taylorpapworth7518]

I saw this many many years ago and as my favourite childhood film this performance was just incredibly mesmerising. Highly recommend it. Yours sincerely, a 90's kid.

[@5ubjugator]

absolutely incredible.... the level of detail and preparation that goes into this is mindboggling

Hey

[@cmckenziecm]

I saw this back in Dec. 2005 and I am going again tomorrow! I can't wait! This was the most amazing musical...so I can't to see it again!

[@graywolf7]

I saw this a few weeks ago. It was AMAZING! It was the greatest stage production I've ever seen. I whooted extra loud for Timon and Pumbaa during the curtain calls, 'cause they're my favorite characters.

[@personallycarly]

this was so amazing to see live! i was in awe the whole time. one of the best musicals ever!

[@stevenford494]

I remember seeing this from when I was really young, I begged by parents to take me to see this and it was AMAZING!!!

[@pinapplesrad]

God, I want to see this again so bad. I saw it years ago when it came to Australia but I was so young and can barley remember it :(

[@finleyforevermore]

Same with me, but I believe it was in Chicago

[@MultiCitCat]

Absolutely bloody amazing! Please do yourself a huge favour and go see it! This is what musical theatre is all about.

[@lynnd23]

I can't wait to see this tonight.

[@DarrenHodson]

I saw this show in London a few years ago by accident.. a friend had a spare ticket. I would never have booked myself. It was, and still is the best musical I have ever seen.. electric ! .. from the opening song...

[@nurannisazolkipli]

i watched it and the entire musical gave me goosebumps..the creativity displayed is WOAH

[@hawj89]

this movie is probably the most beautiful disney have ever made.

[@dly1012]

just saw lion king in vegas, it was amazing! the voices, characters, costumes, sets, everything unbelievably creative and beautifully fantastic!!!

[@evelynmadamba3164]

What a powerful. Voices! Entertaining.

[@gutterpunk6292]

Went to see it last year...best musical I've ever seen. I just loved it to bits!!!

[@basteth66]

The very first time I cried at a musical, i remember, it was on a trip with my mother and my sister to NY, it was my birthday present, going to see "THE LION KING", and i started crying of happines, when Rafiki started singing and some persons came out with some birds, its so hard to describe, and me singing in spanish all the songs, and saying all the dialogs, its a magical experience

[@ParaWings9]

My younger son saw the US performance (at age 12) and said it was the most awesome thing he'd ever seen. This is my favorite Disney movie.

[@shaquitaboyd9598]

Like this so much because it’s cool and also sweet of them to have this out

[@Biigfaan]

I loved this when I saw it in London last year. I will always remember this wonderful musical! :D I cried all the way back to my hotel beacause it was so wonderful!

[@DannieTennant]

I saw it saturday, it was the best thing ive ever seen, i cried like a baby all the way through!!! was awesome!!!!

[@Smirnoffiosa]

OMFG SOOOO NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! They really worked hard for that show! I'm sure it's worthing EVERY PENNY!

[@LilMonsta24]

i saw this in sacramento the best show ever great for any age i would def see it over and over again

[@andyelgrand0]

The best musical ive been to, the magic in the singing as they walk through the crowd in costumes is not only captivating, but it immerses you into the action. TTotally recommend it, any age or gender.

[@Michaelphelps0808]

I saw this in Canada and I had tears in my eyes because it was just so amazing because we are the circle of Life and I wanna go see this again because it was amazing.. and Its better then the movie...

[@berry24]

[@RunsTheLabyrinth629]

I love the Lion King, though I haven't seen it on Broadway, I'd like to. The whole musical score is so powerful! I get goosebumps when listening to it :)

[@Musikkal11]

Saw this in London 11 years ago and then in Boston approximately 5/6 years ago, would go again if it comes to Florida...amazing music, staging, costume, production, I loved everything about it!

what and awesome production i"m a theater major i see this musical is very outstanding musical

[@Peggzlovesu]

One of the best days of my life when i went to see this musical, i can't put into words how amazing it was.

[@MrMatto91]

It's funny how when they first had the idea for The Lion King they didn't expect it to be such a big hit. When it was released it didn't just become a hit, it became a landmark for animation. Then when they thought of turning it into a Broadway Musical they thought it was going to be horrible, awful, and absurd. Just like the film, it didn't become "just a hit", it became a "Broadway's Landmark Musical"

[@iansac100]

They also didn't like Elton John's music demos and Tim Rice had to promise it would be fantastic when they added an African-style arrangement to it

[@danielwebber7517]

At the time the movie was being made, they made it their side project, and not only was "Pocahontas" their big project, but they expected THAT one to be their big BEST PICTURE WINNER!

[@ajanimation8239]

Gives me goose bumps every time... Amazing.!

[@cainster]

Wow. That montage was surprisingly good. I have to admit, I've only seen this one through KZbin clips, and those have been mostly the Tony and Oscars. Now, having seen this "trailer" (can a Broadway show have an actual trailer?) I definitely want to see this performed live!

[@lizzhasia6877]

how can you dislike this. Its the lion king the story of our beginning.. how can people not see that the spirit of a lion lies in the heart of a man as the spirit of a lioness lies in the spirit of o woman. Look beyond what your seeing people see how life can lead you.

My life wont be complete until I see this show.

I saw this in London yesterday! It was amazing. Highly reccomended.

[@verticalsmurf]

I saw this when it was on in Sydney. It was the most fantastic and well produced show I have ever seen. The start was amazing and I was a babbling mess from that point on. I especially loved the Giraffes, but the whole cast were stunning.

Ohh, I got goosebumps while watching this! I totally enjoyed watching this musical! I was with my family in London last year. We decided to go and see a Musical, and the others wanted to see the Mamma Mia musical or the Billy Elliot, but I think that they are glad that I convinced them to go see this one! This is like a memory of life! I still remember that awesome entrance/beginning of this show, and it continued to be awesome through the whole show. I even had to buy the CD!! :D
