To date, it is the current longest-running Disney Broadway show in history and the longest-running musical directed by a female (Julie Taymor).Īs of February 2023, Broadway World reports that "The Lion King" is the highest-grossing Broadway musical of all time. 'The Lion King' 10,000th PerformanceĪccording to Playbill, "The Lion King" is currently readying for its 10,000th performance on Broadway at the Minskoff Theatre. "The Lion King" is currently the second-longest running show on Broadway and the third overall on the longest so far, as "Phantom" remains at No.
These are usually hard to get, but I was able to get very good seats at a reasonable price using the Today Tix app, which as an added bonus make ticket pickup a breeze 30 min before the show: in front of the theatre.With "Phantom of the Opera" closing and "Chicago" becoming the longest-running musical on Broadway, "The Lion King" is slated to achieve its milestone 10,000th performance this coming weekend, May 6, 2023. While in other Broadway plays you can get away with seats in the back, this is one you’ll WANT to be up close to be in the midst of the action. However, to get the most out of the show (and because it is a BIG theatre) I recommend seats as close to the stage as possible. If there ever was a first Broadway show to take your kids, this is the one.Īs far as seating goes, the sound is good wherever you are.
The scenery, the costumes, and the music really place you someplace magical from the beginning. It’s not “just a remake” of the animated film (or the new cgi/ live action-like), there’s something undeniably human that comes with the gifted actors and musicians that are part of this ensemble. This show brought tears to my eyes more than once.
