Heard that Disney's Lion King is in town and did not want to miss the opportunity to catch musical extravaganza. I had heard a lot about it, but did not get a chance to catch the movie in my teens.
Such is the repute of the play that within a week of opening of the booking, almost all the shows were sold out. And there were at least 6-7 shows per week - for 5 weeks. But still, most the shows were sold out and only few of them (weekdays only btw) had some open seats. These seats were either in silos or in some deep corners. So, I had virtually given all hope of catching this show.
But as luck would have had it, things just fell in place. I came in from Boston 1 day ahead of the scheduled arrival date, someone cancelled fabulous seats on the next day and I just called 10 minutes after the cancellation call. Luckily, both S and I had no plans for the evening. And within 6 hours, we were at the DPAC arena watching a show that we had given up any hope of seeing this year.
The 3 hour show was amazing - the synchronization of 100+ artists was superb. Everyone was energetic, yet rhythmic. The concept was familiar, yet novel. The experience was memorable. A must do for anyone and everyone.
It was a surprise for S which delighted her. She flashed her 1000 watt smile again. And I managed to complete one more item of the bucket list - watching a Broadway show.
