The Lion King!





So today i went to see The Lion King at the hippodrome!
The Lion King is now the third of my best shows list, only after LES MIS(1) and Wicked (2).
The costumes and mannerisms of the animals were spectacular! The set pieces and props were magical! the young actors were superb! And best of all the music was extravagant! The sound in the theater was amazing!

This is the company that i saw. (this was when they were on Broadway)


Show Photos - The Lion King - cast
That's Rafiki (the baboon) and the gazelle dancers

Those are the lionesses w/ Nala on the right, during "Shadowland"

These are the Young Simbas and Young Nalas, I saw the Nala on the left and the Simba on the right.

I dont know if this is the same guy i saw, but i'm pretty sure it is.
He's hunky :)

The costumes are the best I've ever seen. The Cheetah was the best! The head was connected  to the puppeteer  by invisible strings and the he also had the PERFECT mannerisms. 

Again this is Rafiki!

This is Scar (left) and Mufasa (right).

 This is the opening, "the circle of life"

Timon and Pumbaa! I thought their acting was awesome but at times their jokes weren't really funny. At all.
This is Simba and Nala at the beginning of "can you feel the love tonight"

this is the dance sequence "the lioness hunt"
