The Lion King

On Saturday night, my friend Kelly and her husband Gabe invited me to join them to go to see Lion King at the Spokane Opera House. After leaving their beautiful little girl at home with her grandma, we headed to a Japanese restaurant for dinner. After dinner we headed downtown very early to ensure that we got parking. We had a few hours, so we headed to Zola for a glass of wine. Zola is a super cute and classy bar that has live music. Here is a picture:

Next, we headed to the Spokane Opera House for the show. Here is a picture of Kelly and I outside.

Here is the cool curtain that was hanging before the show.

This is a picture of us excited and waiting for the show.
Here is the program.

The show was amazing. I'm not a huge fan of musicals, but this was something else. I can't even describe who wonderful it was. The dancing, acting, singing, costumes, masks and puppets. I assume that the shows in Las Vegas and New York have even bigger ensemble cast, which would mean more beautiful animals. Even if the show is exactly the same, I'd love to see the show again.

On Sunday, I went to breakfast with my parents, aunt and uncle at the Davenport Tower. They had some masks on display from the Lion King.
