Just can't wait to be king

I knew I was going to enjoy The Lion King musical the second I told my boss, Elvis about it. We were chatting the other day when I casually dropped my theatrical intentions into a conversation. The second I mentioned it, Elvis stuck out a giant hand to shake mine repeating the words "Awesome! Awesome!". In that instant, I knew it would be a good show.

And it was, it really was. The story and most of the songs are as the film version, but seeing the performers' characterisation of the animals was incredible. The set was equally as brilliant - definately the most versatile stage I've seen. The colour and lighting was fabulous and the singing was top notch. I highly recommend it.
