The Lion King




The Lion King on Broadway
I have been lucky enough to see many Broadway shows.  There are many magnificent show that you could go to see, but if you want to see on of the most strikingly visual show, go to The Lion King.  I do not know many people who have not heard of The Lion King or do not know the story.  The play had to compete with high expectations, and how do you do that?  You have some of the most remarkable costumes and sets Broadway is ever seen.  While sitting in the audience, you cannot take your eyes away from the stage.  The actors have elaborate props which animal them to look and, for some, walk like animals.   The lion’s masks rest impeccably on their head until they wish to fight someone.  With a small flick of the neck, the mask is positioned right over the actors face and then quickly tucked away once the fight is over.   The animals are so stunning and so intricate that you can help but study ever spot.  This is a play the entire family will enjoy and remember.
