Lion King

This show was amazing. I mean AMAZING!!!! The costumes, the acting, the choreography, the lighting...oh my gosh! It was so amazing that it was overwhelming. I am not afraid to say that my whole family cried at the first song, when the giraffes came on stage (they were the first animals on). Kind of pathetic I know, but it was such a great feeling to be there, watching this show. I really can't describe it. Go see it if at all possible.

In other Broadway coming to Portland news, there are 6 other shows coming this year, and I might go see all of them, depending on if Mom gets season tickets for Christmas or my birthday. Anyway the shows are: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, Little Women the Musical, Mamma Mia, Cats, Peter Pan (Cathy Rigby's last tour...yes she is playing Peter Pan), and Hairspray. The ones we're most likely going to see if we don't get season tickets are: Cats and Peter Pan. I'm really excited.

The journey to Lion King wasn't as pleasant as the show. Dad had to go to church to do some stuff and didn't get home until 1:08...the show started at 2:00. No porblem, right? Well, Mom, Brooke, and I were freaking out because we weren't goign to make it. Well we finally got on the road, picked up Aunty Bette and headed on our way. Traffic hit and cost us about 10 minutes. This trip reminded me of going to Wicked with elan. We ended up getting to the show with 10 minutes to spare...but we were pretty tense getting there.

Well, I'm in Bend now. And yay for the hotel with High-Speed Internet Access.
