The Disney Story

This Tony Award winning musical is largely based on the eponymous Disney movie that is known and loved by many. It tells the Hamlet-like tale of the lion cub Simba, prince of the African lions and heir to the throne. Simba “Just Can’t Wait to be King” and hopes he’ll be a brave king like his father. But after his father is murdered by his evil uncle Scar, Simba is forced into exile believing that he is to blame for his death. In exile he meets Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog and they teach him their philosophy of life, “Hakuna Matata” (“No Worries”) as he grows up. In the forest he realises that he must reclaim the throne to save the lions and take his rightful place as “King of Pride Rock”. In order to do so, he must defeat Scar.

Spectacular Costumes and Inspiring Music

The thing that sets this musical apart is the costume design and scenery, which is truly impressive. The animals of the African Savannah are really brought to life: lions, antelope, hyenas, wildebeests, giraffes and many more right in front of your eyes. Coupled with Oscar-winning songs like “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” the musical fulfils its promise of sheer entertainment. Julie Taymor played a crucial role in the development of the musical working on additional music and lyrics, costumes, mask and puppet design as well as being the director. Her work helped define the Broadway blockbuster.

How to buy the Lion King on Broadway Tickets?

It is easy to buy tickets for the Lion King with the link below. I recommend buying tickets online before your trip to New York. Why? The website below guarantees great seating in Orchestra or Front Mezzanine for discounted prices. You will save time and money and most importantly you don’t have to stress about finding tickets when you are in New York. A lot of Broadway musicals are very popular and are often sold out.

Buying a ticket is simple:

Click on the link and select the date you want to go
Fill in your information and pay
Check your email for the confirmation and voucher
Exchange your voucher at the theatre a couple of hours before the show

Seats are assigned by the theatre, which is why you won’t know your exact seating at the time of booking. Seat numbers will be clearly marked on the tickets. For bookings up to 4 people you are guaranteed seating next to one another. With larger groups the theatre will try its best.

Send me an email at eric@newyork.com.au if you want to book for groups of 20 people or more.

Eric’s Tip: This musical is great for the entire family. If you have children then you’ll certainly know the story of The Lion King and if not you can enjoy the songs, dances and costumes of the show. There isn’t anything like it on Broadway. If you order your tickets below, you’ll have great seating in either Orchestra or Front Mezzanine, which I think is the best way to truly experience the magnitude of the show.
