Disney Presents The Lion King (Touring) Tickets

Wow, so many people getting up during performance. Kind of disrupts the magical experience.

This review is solely for Ticketmaster - Very poor customer service, actually Zero customer service, we were not able to attend as we had an issue with our tickets.

I’ve been waiting seven years to bring my mom to see The Lion King. I knew she would love it, and she certainly did! We were in the sixth row main floor at the matinee on 4/13/24. I’ve seen it three times before, including on Broadway. The current touring cast is absolutely phenomenal. However, I’m not sure what was going on with the sound, but there were so many moments where we couldn’t understand what was being said. Some of the performers were mic’ed well enough, but then there were other performers where they sounded like they were attempting to speak out of a tin can. Add to that the (amazing) orchestra and the air circulation/conditioning system, and it was difficult to hear the dialogue and some of the singing. I thought it might be where we were sitting, but a friend of mine was at a different performance and was sitting up in the first few rows of the balcony and said he and others around him were struggling to hear the voices too. So.. note to the sound designer/soundboard operator: I get that you might be trying to go for a more “natural” sound, but it’s ok to boost those voices so the audience can hear them over the orchestra and air conditioning. Acoustics can be tricky, but please give us a little more!

I waited a long time to see The Lion King, and it was well worth it. I am always amazed at how things come together on stage. The costumes, scenery, and actors all made for a magical experience.

Excellent costumes,scenery and characters did a great job!

This performance lacked the usual enthusiasm that Broadway performances have. Hard to hear at times.

A truly wonderful show, it didn’t disappoint. I saw it on Broadway many years ago and it’s just as good now.

I liked the visual production with the puppets and costumes. I thought that was excellent. I felt like the singing was spot on and really good. The problem was that the microphones were a bit off so it was really hard to make out the words. I thought the sound could have been clearer which would have made a difference for me. Overall, it was a fun night.

The performance was incredible. I could feel the energy and enthusiasm of the performers. Perfect in every way. As we were leaving, we chatted with one of the percussionist that was located in the theater on the side. Ends up that he performed at the Orpheum when we were there with our whole family 12 years ago. He shared that he thinks he has the best job in the world and, after all these years, he enjoys his next performance as much as the earlier ones. What a testament!.

The performance was great. We have seen it once before but still wonderful. We took another couple with us who have never seen Lion King and they were thrilled with the performance. We are old enough to have hip and knee issues (all of us) and so having seats in the balcony with needing to navigate steps with no handrails was an issue. I will remember that next time.
