The Lion King

The Lion King the musical on Broadway must have been the most incredible experience I've had at a Broadway show in quite some time.
Whoever it was that sang the opening note - I wanted to give her a big hug - gave me chills down my back, something that actually never happened to me Click to Hear turn your speakers all the way up and the volume on YouTube all the way up before it starts - and imagine it live.  I melted in my seat.
I kind of regret not seeing it sooner, but honestly, it was a great movie coming up to my 20th birthday - a show about growing up, and learning as you go, and leaving the past behind you and growing from it. 
I would definitely recommend anyone of any age to go see it. Truth of the matter is, you can't outgrow Disney. You just can't, especially a classic like the Lion King.  Just the colors of the scenery, the music, the dancing, those tight African chords makes it worth however much the tickets cost.  Not to mention all the laughs, the tears, the mixed emotions, which are all priceless, makes me kind of want to watch it again, and I'm usually not a fan of watching Broadway shows more than once.
