This Day in History November 13, 1997

All right, today’s feature actually ties into a Christmas present I am giving someone.  On this date in 1997, Disney’s Lion King debuted on Broadway.  My daughter and I saw this several years ago in Texas–she barely remembers it.  I find this an enchanting musical, and I was blown away from the opening scene of this musical.  They do it right–you have to wait to be seated if you are late due to the nature of the opening scene.  And if you are late coming back from the intermission, forget it.  You won’t be allowed into the theatre at all!  This is coming to Seattle in March, and I am taking a couple of very special people to see it.  They don’t know it, but they don’t read my blog (usually), so I’m not terribly worried.  If you have not seen it and you ever get the chance, go see it!  It’s worth it!

    I have fond memories of The Lion King. It was one of our daughter’s favorite movies when she was a young girl.
