Lion King Musical

I have been wanting to see the Lion King musical for many, many years.  Probably 17 years, to be exact (aka, how long it's been playing).  Fast-forward to this past May, when I found out that Lion King was coming to Boston.  And it would be playing in Boston on my birthday.  You know I bought tickets right away.....and then settled in for a 4-month wait.....

Today was the big day!  We headed into the city a little before the show so we could enjoy a nice lunch at Legal Seafood (which is directly across the street from the Boston Opera House).

 All four of us Lusters thoroughly enjoyed the show.  It closely followed the movie, and the girls especially enjoyed seeing how different parts of the movie were interpreted for the stage.

After the show, we bought each girl a program, and they both looked through their books on the train ride out of the city.  It was a wonderful show and a wonderful birthday present from the family.
