The “Mane Event” at the Theater

On Saturday, the 16th of October, we went to a matinee performance of “The Lion King” on stage. Of course, many of you have probably seen the animated movie version – and perhaps many have seen the stage musical, too. We had not seen either. The music, singing and dancing were up to the usual high standards of London theater – though the plot is pretty rudimentary. But the costumes and the staging!! It would be hard to exaggerate how beautiful and inventive they were. A really great theatrical experience – not to be missed if you get the chance.
