You must take one then :D very sneaky so he won't see ^_^
Thanks for the great story simba2662, I definitely know how you feel - the withdrawal when the show leaves your city - quite a depressing feeling especially being in Australia. :( I hope you will get to see the show again sometime down the road, glad you got to meet the cast and get autographs. I have never been at the finale performance for any TLKOB production, sure sounds like it was a lot of fun. It would be so cool to see the actors come out and speak to the audience, in full costume, after the show, that would be really meaningful and special as a fan.Quote:

That was definitely the last time I will see the Broadway show but what a way to go out.
It had been almost a year since I watched the final curtain come down in Sydney and as the show rapped up I couldn?t have asked for a better night.
I jumped in my seat, which was in the front row and went through the little show bag that everyone received. The lights went down as the music roared above the savannah and there was simply no place else in the world I wanted to be.
The whole show ran so well except for 1 of the puppets in 'I Just Cant Wait To Be King, his costume just wouldn?t sit on properly.
As the last scene finished up everyone stood on their feat cheering and clapping for ages as gold confetti was sprayed everywhere.
Scar said a few words thanking everybody for their involvement just like he did in Sydney before the curtain dropped and stayed down :(
I didn?t want to leave the theatre but eventually did and thought I would try my luck around at the stage door. It was packed but mainly from the casts and their families, so with my Julie Taymor Broadway book I was able to get plenty of autographs and even have a quick chat to Rafiki and Mufasa ;)
It really was just a perfect night and something I will never forget.
I have a picture/article from the local paper but i'm not sure how to attach it. I'll send it via email if anyone is keen to see it :)
I'm going to be seeing pretty much the same cast you saw in Australia in Shanghai, China this summer, in fact I just bought the tickets today, we'll be sitting in the section directly behind the VIP stalls, can't wait. Date will be August 15th.
And I'll be posting more now that Finals are over... I know you've all missed me so much <sarcasm> but it's been a tough past few weeks. It's a little hard for me to comment on the glistening chest of Roger Wright, though :lol: but any discussion of TLKOB is good discussion of course!
If you want to send the article/photos to me by e-mail simba2662, I can host it on my school web server to share with everyone.
Oh come on Tim, you know you like it. ;) :lol: But seriously, I did miss you. I was like... "Where's Tim?"
THE LION KING MUSICAL, in London!! It was totally very unbelieveble GREAT!! Now I?m even more obsessed with the Lion King!! I cried, laughed but I hardly couldn?t see.. We had a great seat but this little kid in front of me couldn?t deside if he schould stand or sit down so he JUMPED! I got so annoyed.. But It was TOTALLY the best!! Loved it!!
:D :cheese:
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
I'm going to go ahead and merge this with the TLKoB thread though. :)
haha, I love the banner HK
HK, you excluded London Simba...I don't know...should I be happy or sad ;) But I love it :lol:
Linda...LK in London...you liked it...really? :evilgrin: Tell me more...:evilgrin: :lol: Any understudies? How was the cast...how was Mufasa?! I'm curious, I haven't seen the changed cast yet :D:cheese:
I'm sure Zaya is interested on how Simba performed ? :p
Grrrr, Nathalie, how could you guess that ;) :p
Yeah I wanna know if he rushed the keyboard guy again at Endless night :lol:
But really, I'd love to know about the new Mufasa (the old one kind of...wasn't my type :eww:) and I think they also replaced Shenzi...and Ed :confused:
I left Brian out because he's yours ;) I have another one with Etienne and Gino but I wanted to leave some for Nath. :lol:
Oh, but you can put Gino in ... I only need Etienne :cheese: haha
And you can also have Danny *lol*
:lol: Nah, you can keep Danny. If I take Etienne off, I'd need another one to add. :hmm:
Well, add Danny :p I never wanted him in the first place :lol:
*hmm* I get this feeling Danny isn't so loved ... haha
Nah, I moved Wallace, Josh, and Clifton over and put Jason in the middle. ;) I'm gonna change it over right now. ;)
haha, you can squeeze loads of Simba's in 500 pixels :p
so, who's who? :cheese:
Of course you could put zillions of Simbas in there. :lol: But then you really couldn't see them. ;)
It goes Gino Emnes, Vince Harder, Roger Wright, Jason Raize, Wallace Smith, Josh Tower, and Clifton Oliver. :D
girl, you obsessed :p
and you saw them all on stage aswell?
Haha not all of them. I've seen Jason and Wallace. The others from just various clips and stuff. But if they're good enough to hook me from a clip, they're pretty good. ;)
and apart from that, you're thinking "if they can glisten ... they got me hooked aswell" :p
:lol: Roger is the most glisteny. But yes, that helps. ;)
