Since endeavoring on this European journey, I have had only one request. It was not to explore the ancient Colosseum of Rome, stand atop the Eiffel tower in Paris, or check the time courtesy of Big Ben (although those were all UNFORGETTABLE and irreplaceable experiences and that was in no way shape or form a complaint). My dream of all dreams, my only request of the trip, was to go to LION KING!! So I made it happen: Ash was equally as eager and enthusiastic... so we walked down the cobblestone road, past the talented and amusing street performers, towards the beautiful yellow and orange tiger adorned theatre. We had incredible private box seats for just the two of us, and as we were ushered to them we were informed that a performer from the show would be singing in our box for the first number: um, OKAY!! The shirtless, loin cloth laden man walked in before the show and was so sweet and friendly. After singing the most incredible version of The Circle of Life that could have ever been composed, he shook our hands, told us that we were "so gorgeous, just so gorgeous", lingered for maybe a moment too long, then headed down onto the stage: where he continued to wave to us and blow us kisses!! It was quite a treat: not everyday that you are blown kisses from a performer onstage during a Broadway show! The show: PHENOMENAL, absolutely incredible, breathtakingly spectacular in every sense of the word!! The costumes were unreal, the most creative, intricate and extravagant costumes that would put any special Halloween number to shame. Human giraffes, life size elephants, flocks of birds, herds of antelope, Timone and Pumba (hilarious), and of course all the other amazing classics. It went above and beyond all of our expectations. On the way home, we couldn't stop smiling, laughing, and reminiscing about the show... we just loved it! Side note: I started feeling sick yesterday, my throat is the color of a ripened tomatoe (refer to below picture) and it hurts like you wouldn't believe. Then the nose and cough and headaches set in... Luckily for me, I'm in London. So none of that matters right now.
