We watched the musical The Lion King at London's Lyceum Theatre. I have been a fan of the animated movie but have been curious to see how it would be presented on stage.I was so impressed with the production quality of this play: the costumes, the sets, the tools used; are so imaginative and creative! It was quite breath-taking how the scene where Simba loses his dad in a jungle stampede was depicted on stage. Or how the costumes of Scarface & Mufasa made them look evil or majestic respectively. Or how the set of the hyena strong-hold, the graveyard, gave the stage an eerie creepy feel.
I loved it all!

Well the trip is over, and I'm back to Dubai at 42 degrees celcius!! I wish too that there was more theatre in Dubai. They did bring Mama Mia to Dubai though-- did you watch it? I missed that one.

Well, we dont get a lot of theatre in Dubai, so it was a rare occassion for me too!
Moi,
Hahaha! Have you been to the play? I saw it being advertised in NYC too, if you get a chance you should catch it.
Thanks for the post..I hope to watch the Lion in act sometime this year! I've heard that its one of the best musicals on Broadway.
I watched Mamma Mia a couple of years ago- its terrific, esp. if you're an ABBA fan!
I second Megster's Mamma Mia reco.
It is so good - the costumes are sooooo awesome!
Meghna & Lalunadiosa,
Mama Mia was playing in Dubai for so long, but somehow we got busy with this and that and missed it in the end. I was so keen on watching it; maybe some other time.
No radha, i haven't been to the play..apart from my own school's theater, I haven't watched any in US..school stipend is not enough to cover theater expenses :(
Moi,
Ah well, Lion King will still be around when you're out of university :)
