The day has finally arrived. We went to see The Lion King musical!
We rested most of the day as we wanted to be fresh and ready for the show! Excitement was in the air...even on the bus!
We had to take a boat to cross the river to get to the theater.
The yellow boat is the Nala...the boat for the cast and also for theater-goers. We were on a different boat.
Pulling up to the dock beside the theater. Let the Magic begin!
We were greeted by the Lion himself in half of his makeup...
In motion and getting ready to perform!
He led us backstage and introduced us to some of the cast and sat us in the break-room where the cast has a full service kitchen, gourmet chef and terrace to chill on in between shows.
Most of the cast was outside soaking up the sun!
Backstage pass and tickets.
The show was completely in German but believe me I felt every word and of course every song. "Circle of Life" gave me chills. A classic performance by the whole cast but especially Darrin Lamont Byrd as Mufasa. Wow.
The King!

We traveled back home with the King after our beautiful night at the theater. Special thanks to Darrin!
Do you like musicals? Traveling? Germany? We would LOVE to see the Lion King and Hamburg with YOU!
