The Lion King

 crazy awesome animals

stunning performance 

We took the boys to their first show on Broadway in New York City.  We were gifted tickets to The Lion King from a friend - and what an amazing gift it was.  This certainly was the highlight of our holiday.   We drove to the city for the day and had a total blast.  The Lion King took the breath away from all of us.  The boys were so excited about it and from the moment it began, were completely in awe.   The opening scene was so beautiful that it brought me to tears.  The colors, the singing, the costumes, the stage - SPECTACULAR.  I understood - perhaps for the very first time in my life and on a very deep level, why live theater has the potential power to transform people.  I am so deeply grateful for this opportunity for the boys. 
WOW.

And it was just about a lion.
