riane Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Just got back from a weekend in London. We went to see The Lion King show. It was absolutely amazing. The puppetry and costumes are out of this world. The music and dancing fantastic. The 13 year old was as enthralled as the 4 year old and I cried twice in "The Circle of Life" bit. I know it is 10 years old, so there might have been a thread before but I am on such a high I wanted to share the news! If you want a family show you will not be disappointed.

jlo Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 It really does give you goose bumps doesn't it? Last time we saw it we were quite close to the front on the end of the aisle which was excellent. I won't say anymore in case someone is about to go and see it!

craftyhunnypie Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Everyone who I've spoke that has seen it says it's fantastic. A goose bumpy, tearful experience. It doesn't take much for my emotions to kick in, so best take tissues galore if I ever go & see it. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
