lion king -- mandalay bay

T-day to xmas is the slow time in vegas, so my ticket subscription is showing up with some of the big ticket things.

i wasn't familiar with "lion king," but i have double hatred for musical theater ... one for being brainwashed by my wife -- who loves traditional theater, but hates musicals  ... and the other for hating theater in general because i can't get over the fact that i'm watching a bunch of actors on stage (a side-effect from having to watch "the seagull" [GODDAMMIT] as my first theater experience as a 13 year old).

it was a great spectacle.  wide ranging audience.  solid performances from all the cast with exceptional work by the actor representing zazu.  great puppets.  nice use of perspective-within-2-D.

i'm sure you already know all this stuff.

something i would have kutrate sometime next year because of all the fuss, but thanks to my ticket subscription, i don't have to.

$114 face.
