Take that Pioneer Press!

The Lion King is back, after it's triumphant opening in the twin cities 10 years ago, it's back for a 10th aniversary tour. There was an article in the Pioneer press a few days ago that talked about it becoming part of theatrical history, a show that will not be able to live on in spectacle alone. http://www.twincities.com/stage/ci_7302138?nclick_check=1

I went to see the Lion King at the Orpheum yesterday. Of course I have seen pictures of the costumes and heard about how great it was. Therefore, I thought I was prepared for what I was about to experience.

Boy was I wrong.

You guys, the curtain went up for the opening number...

I was moved to tears it was so gorgeous and incredible.

But beyond that, I felt the story and music still has something relevant to say. I, for one, would see it over and over again just to enjoy the experience. And if you haven't seen it yet...what on earth are you waiting for??
