Specktacular Specktacular!

While that may not be the right musical reference, that word describes the Lion King the Musical perfectly! As a Christmas gift to Rusty, I purchased us tickets to a performance of the Lion King and we both found that it was money well spent. A few notes about the performance:
(1) The costumes were phenomenal! As Rusty said, only took a smidgen of imagination to make it REAL.
(2) The set design was beautiful and everything was constantly moving, you were rarely watching the same set on stage for more than a few minutes.
(3) The singing was amazing! Rafiki (which actually means friend in Swahili) in particular blew us away, and in this performance was actually a woman.
(4) If visiting the DPAC, pay the extra money to at least get lower balcony seats, we sat in the upper balcony and discovered it was just too far away.
(5) In order to really experience the Lion King, you simply have to go see it, it was beyond all my expectations!

Here are some pictures to remember the night by:
