I have to admit: I have never seen the Broadway show, even though I really want to.
But people did post the cast recording of all the songs on Youtube, as well as some scenes, and I have to say: the Broadway show is an excellent addition to The Lion King. It's easy to see why it does so well, and why it still continues to do well.
Hopefully, one of these days, I will finally get to see The Lion King musical.
