    2. The Lion King

      The Lion King musical tells the Hamlet-like tale of Simba, prince of African lions, who battles his evil Uncle Scar for the throne. But before Simba can take his rightful place in the "Circle of Life", he grows up with his two fun-loving friends, wisecracking meerkat Timon and smelly warthog Pumbaa. Together they teach Simba their philosophy of life, "Hakuna Matata" (No Worries). Based on the 1994 Disney film, and book by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi, the musical includes the Oscar-winning song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." Additional songs are by Hans Zimmer, Lebo M, Mark Mancina and Jay Rifkin. This visual feast is famous for director Julie Taymor's complex animal-puppet-human fusion, and is loved by audiences of all ages.

    Such a great experience....

    Such a great experience. The no phones was a great decision to be one with the performance. Loved everything about this musical.

    Incredible spectacle, but seat selection makes all the difference!

    The Lion King on Broadway is a visual masterpiece—the opening procession down the Orchestra aisles gives you goosebumps instantly. However, for anyone planning to book, where you sit matters just as much as what you pay. A quick tip for budget travelers: Don't fall for the extreme rear rows of the Mezzanine just because they are cheap, as you'll miss the facial expressions and handmade puppet details. The absolute sweet spot for view vs. price is Front Mezzanine (Rows A to C)—the elevation gives you a panoramic sightline over the entire stage choreography and pride rock mechanics without anyone blocking your view. Also, if you are visiting NYC, check the Minskoff Theatre box office in person to skip hefty online fees if you are already in the area. A must-see show for both first-timers and families!

    Overrated

    Singing was great, acts were great but it was too tight and small in there. I think the entire show was overrated.

    The Lion King - a must watch!

    This was an overall great experience, both the booking experience with Viator and the Broadway show itself. I would highly recommend this show to people, especially those with kids (as the kids would really love the characters and how it was been performed on stage).

    The Lion King in minskoff theatre

    ​Sean and LaShonda went above and beyond to work their magic, handling everything seamlessly and securing me a replacement seat for the very next show. The way they turned a stressful situation completely around was truly epic. The show itself was breathtaking, but the exceptional kindness and outstanding service from Sean and LaShonda are what made the trip unforgettable. Huge thanks to both of them for saving the day!

    The Lion King On Broadway Ticket: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

    How much does The Lion King On Broadway Ticket cost?

    +

    Prices start at $146 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does The Lion King On Broadway Ticket take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.

    Is The Lion King On Broadway Ticket worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 669 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Lion King On Broadway Ticket?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is The Lion King On Broadway Ticket suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Lion King On Broadway Ticket?

    +

    Around 234 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Lion King On Broadway Ticket start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in New York?

    +

    New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit New York?

    +

    September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in New York?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in The Lion King On Broadway Ticket?

    +

    Included: Captioning support via the GalaPro app in Mandarin, French, Italian, German, and Korean; All taxes, fees and handling charges; and Audio guide with descriptive commentary (English, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is The Lion King On Broadway Ticket offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Korean, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Lion King On Broadway Ticket?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is The Lion King On Broadway Ticket wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; and If you have Accessible Seating requirements, please call our customer service team at 888-. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to The Lion King On Broadway Ticket if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in New York. Standard cancellation terms apply.
