ZOMG!!!!! There are no words.....The Lion King is AMAZING!! All I can say is that if it comes to a city/theatre near you, GO!!!! Drop everything else & go order tickets!! Go on. What are you waiting for?!
I am a big Disney fan. When I lived in SoCal, I had an annual pass to Disneyland. I'd even made it a rule that any time we drove past the park, we had to stop, go in & ride at least one ride. (You can do silly things like that when you have an annual pass.) But, I have to say I really was disappointed in The Lion King the movie; I saw it when it first came out in the theatres & never bothered to see it again or buy it for my collection. It just didn't do anything for me.
The Lion King the play, however, is a whole 'nother story!! I am completely in awe of the person who was the creative force that brought the stage production into being. I am a pretty creative person, in general. I also have spent a fair amount of time in productions -- dance or otherwise. But I can't even begin to say that I have anything close to the vision that it took to create what I saw tonight!! Even more amazing was what it must have taken to verbalize that vision to others in order to get the costuming, choreography, animal life, staging, set design, lighting, etc., not to mention the financial backing, support, & investment that was needed to make that vision a reality.
Wow!
Just Wow!!
