Wow! Going on a business trip to the Big Apple next week...looking for anyone who might know some connections to get some discount Broadway show tickets...I'd love to see a show, but wow, they aren't cheap!
Go to the TKTS Kiosk. They sell same-day show tickets for half price. Sure, you may not find The Lion King up on the board, but there's usually a really good selection of shows.
Its not in Times Square, its (I think) one "Square" above that. New Yorkers all know about it though, so they should help you find it.
