Minskoff Theatre

Midtown


The expansive Minskoff Theatre has been hosting shows, pageants and events since 1973. It currently is the home to Disney's The Lion King.

A top choice for families with kids, Disney's blockbuster musical Lion King tells the tale of a lion cub's journey to adulthood and the throne of the animal kingdom. The spectacular sets, costumes and African chants are worth the ticket alone.
