"Amazing from Beginning to Ending"

November 2021

My experience was amazing the third time seeing this show with three different cast the first on Broadway and it was worth every penny and every single second awesome job to everyone from beginning to end the seats were great the ushers and workers at the theater were great it was good to be out amongst people feeling like normalcy is on its way, and it would be nice to win the hundred dollars to help recoup some money from the parking God bless and good luck to everyone

Tip: The Edison hotel and staying downtown in Times Square is worth it be prepared to pay for parking but it’s very convenient everything is right at your fingertips

"Amazing Show.."

May 2016

We had great seats. The performance was great. The costumes, the set, and the music were all amazing. This show is great for all ages. The play is very similar to The Lion King cartoon with some adjustments to keep it current.

Tip: Arrive early to pick up your tickets.

"Amazing Performance"

April 2016

This is highly recommended for all ages. The costumes in the show are so creative and each actors character seems to fit their personality. The Lion King cartoon and this play are very similar, but it's still a tear jerker when Mufasa dies... The theater check-in was really easy with Reserve Direct E-ticket. The ushers are very helpful with getting you to your seats. One person in our group left their phone after the show and the theater had it waiting for us to pick-up the next day.

Tip: Pick-up your tickets anytime the day of the show to save a few minutes when you arrive for the show.

Never saw anything like the Lion King before and it was amazing!
Also, purchasing tickets through ReserveDirect was an easy and painless experience! Thanks for everything!
