| Last weekend, our family took a trip to Springfield, Missouri, to see The Lion King, on Sunday. Attempting to avoid the horrible depths of snow predicted by all the wonderful weather agencies, meteorologists, and every self-proclaimed storm chaser on social media, we booked a hotel for Saturday night. With church services cancelled for Sunday morning due to temporarily slick roads, we drove across the street to Wonders of Wildlife. Wouldn't you know? There, swimming around in one of the aquariums, were TATUM and HOLDEN! You don't expect to see your students in an aquarium, but you just never know. |
The Lion King was mostly as we remembered it. We had previously seen the show in Tulsa, several years ago, and we have always been intrigued by the puppetry and stage effects. Not only that, but the African rhythms and percussion, the sound and dance numbers, as well as the story are among the best. In fact, it seems The Lion King has been more profitable than any Star Wars or Harry Potter movie. |
