About a month ago Mom, Kim, Kim's mother-in-law Carol, and I went to The Broadway musical, The Lion King. Let me tell you it was a sight for the eyes, and the ears. Mom treated all of us to the show, a night the Red Lion Hotel (go figure) and Carol treated us to dinner. Kim and I felt very spoiled. It was such a great time to get away for a weekend with the girls. I had never seen the musical of The Lion King before, but the soundtrack is one of my favorites out of all the Disney movies. I was literally in aw with a huge grin on my face the entire time. My jaw was sore afterward, I even sang along to a couple of tunes. The costumes were just spectacular and all the animals were played by people. It was so bright and colorful, I got goosebumps more than once. In the program I read that a lot of African culture influenced the costumes, dance, music etc. Plus one of the composers of the newly added songs was from South Africa (I traveled there Jan Term 2008). So it was cool how that related into it. Since we couldn't take any pictures of the actual show (due to copyright laws) here is the The Lion King in a nutshell via Youtube. I"m not sure why the video is SO BIG, sorry about that.
Me, Mom, Carol and Kim eating dinner at the hotel restaurant. I ordered salmon that was served on a plank of wood. The wood was still burning even.
Mom pulled out her camera at intermission. Right after one of the ushers yelled at a group of girls behind us, threatening to send them to jail for taking pictures. It's illegal we found out. Of course for my mom, there are no rules!
I didn't know you sang along with some of the songs--and I was sitting right next to you! I guess that lets you know that I was pretty into the play, too. :) That was lots of fun! :)

Resemblence maybe?

ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were singing either. Where was I? It was a wonderful evening and I'm so glad that we got to do it! What a fun weekend with my girls!
ReplyDeleteResemblence? You bet! It's not a coincidence that we call you Little Vicki . . .
