Greg Evans of Variety encapsulates the musical with unequivocal opinions in his review, stating that “Julie Taymor's direction of Disney's The Lion King is a wonder, a assured box office hit unquestionable in its cultural and historical foundation. Leaping far beyond its celluloid inspiration, the live showing enhances on nearly every aspect of the previous 1994 animated motion picture, from visual artistry and narrative to Lebo M's compositions and the newly Africanized pop numbers of Elton John and Tim Rice."
