THE LION KING

In Julie Taymor’s Tony Award winning retelling of Disney’s animated hit, puppets, and live actors weave a dreamscape of jungle characters creating the story of young Simba’s rise to the throne. The Associated Press: The show is a visual masterpiece. The Lion King musical is a great start to the theatre world as you are familiar with the characters from the film. Make no mistake; The Lion King is a rare theatre experience. From the moment it begins, with a majestic sun rising and animal puppets moving heavily, the Lion King offers stage magic.

WICKED

Now, in its fourteenth year on Broadway, this all-ages spectacle follows the untold true story of the Witches of Oz. Journal News: To begin with, it’s the most complete, satisfying, new musical I’ve seen in a long time; it’s a show where the ticket price doesn’t seem to be enough for the show. The show and its many parts with music, sets, costumes and performances take your breath away.

HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD

Harry Potter comes to Broadway all grown up in this two-part story that picks up with Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione nineteen years after the events of the final book. Winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Play. Theatremania: It’s not only the most magical show on Broadway, but the best day I’ve ever spent in the theater in a long time. Nostalgia is not enough; the ‘Cursed Child’ offers something fresh. The performance from 40-person cast sells the magic and earns our emotional investment.
