Whenever someone mentions The Lion King within earshot, I cannot help but imagine a chance to be able to get my butt to New York and watched a live action version of The Lion King show. Over and over. I love how the story goes, and I love the struggles of the characters, what they had to go through to get to where they had to be. Those internal struggles among the family for a coveted "spot" is what attracts me to love The Lion King on a fanatic scale. Simply put, I can never ever get tired of the storyline nor the characters. But I think the best place to watch The Lion King right as of now, would be at the Radio City Music Hall

But before I go right into the aspects of why and why not, let's take a short look at the history of this wonderful little place called Minskoff Theatre.

The Minskoff Theatre is a Broadway theatre, located at 1515 Broadway in midtown-Manhattan. It is now showing the musical The Lion King, based on the Disney animated film of the same name.

The 1,621-seat venue, designed by architects Kahn and Jacobs, is on the third floor of One Astor Plaza, an office tower constructed on the site of the legendary Astor Hotel. Named after Sam Minskoff and Sons, builders and owners of the high-rise building, it opened on March 13, 1973, with a revival of Irene starring Debbie Reynolds. Over the years it has served as host to musicals, dance companies, and concerts.

In 1981, it hosted Miss Universe 1981, won by Irene Saez of Venezuela, as well as the transfer of Joseph Papp's production of The Pirates of Penzance. In 1994, Sunset Boulevard was a hit at the theatre. In 2006, The Lion King transferred to the theatre, where it continues to run, as of 2012.
