Yes, I saw TLK on Broadway and during Circle of Life the entrance of each new costume got such long and loud applause that the lyric was unintelligible. From what I've heard that's a regular occurrence. I thought the score was fine but there was an inconsistency between the score and the cheap humor of the book. ("Hey, this didn't happen in the movie!") They didn't seem to be written for the same show. Take away the production values and I think the material of TLK is average at best and to me that doesn't make a best musical.
