the lion king

• 14 comments •


After going on our first safari, we couldn't stop talking about it. When we were at Kruger National Park, we probably sang songs from The Lion King more than we'd like to admit. There were so many shows we wanted to see, but the tickets are pretty pricey and the Disney classic turned Broadway musical seemed like the one we'd enjoy the most.


In addition to to being one of the best Disney movies, the show was directed by Julie Taymor who we are fans of for her psychedelic visual artistry in Across The Universe. To see similar costumes, puppetry, and set design in person was such an incredible thrill.


The photos we took are from inside the Minskoff Theatre - with all the red carpets and gold accents, it's really a stunning place. Obviously, we didn't take any pictures or videos of the show, but if you have a moment, you can watch a montage from The Broadway Channel on Youtube:

    I love Broadway shows and I've always wanted to see The Lion King! A few weeks ago I saw Fela and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Highly recommended if you get back to the city before its run is over!

    That's the best show to see if you've only got time for one! The costumes are so insanely amazing! And the scenery, dancers, movement, choreography, etc...

    I saw it here in Toronto a few years ago and was blown away. It's incredible.

    Another one I saw that I would highly suggest is Aida. I saw that on Broadway and literally cried it was so good!

    I want to see this again this time with my younger brothers. I think they would enjoy it and it would be a memorable night out for all of us.

    It looks like a great show! I've never been to a broadway show...ever. But if I went to one, Lion King would be on the list.

    Such a good show! I did the same thing by the way- I hummed disney tunes throughout my entire safari and 3 months later in china I still have a few choice ones on my ipod trip mix!

    I'm so glad you guys got to see it. Hands down, it is the best show on Broadway (a close second is Fela). I've been obsessed with the music from this show for over a decade, so I totally would've been singing right along with you guys on safari. LOVE IT

    Broadway show are so nice! To be honest, I have never seen one yet. I did saw the beauty & the beast at the Disney World. That's a bit different then the real Broadway show though.
