The Lion King!

I received some good news at work this week, so naturally, a celebration was in order. (Side note: usually the word "celebrate" in my vocab translates to "shopping" - not in this case.)

"The Lion King" is leaving Chicago in a couple of weeks, and I decided to see if there was any way possible to score a ticket. I ran to the theater after work, and I was in luck! (Another side note: several of my friends are going in a couple of weeks, but I'm not available. And, I considered asking other friends to come with me tonight, but sometimes it gets complicated balancing schedules.) When I found out there was one ticket available pretty close to the front for a pretty good price, the phrase "carpe diem" popped into my head.



How I envision the jungles of Africa literally came to life on the stage - elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, monkeys, hyenas...



As of right now, this is by far my favorite musical that I've ever seen. (Last side note: I'm not just saying that to say that. I mean it. I LOVED IT!!!!!! hence the 6 explanation marks!)

My favorite line?
"Remember Who You Are."

I love the six exclamation marks and I love that you went to this and had a fabulous time and took a taxi home instead of walking down Milwaukee Ave! Can't wait to hear more about it!
