The Lion King: Magic on stage

A trip to the annual Collegiate Media Conference in Kansas City, Missouri, this week has proven to be filled with surprises.

Surprise No. 1: Kansas City is filled with really interesting art work – at least the downtown area. I – along with five other staffers from the Spinnaker – was captured for minutes in front of dozens of art statues and murals. Who knew Dorothy came from such a cool place.

No. 2: BBQ in Kansas City rocks.

But the best surprise of all was finding out that The Lion King Broadway tour was stopping in Kansas City – right in front of our hotel. If you have seen it, you know what I mean when I say it is pure magic on stage. The talent was phenomenal and gave me chills throughout the show. The costumes are so intricate and thoughtful – it was as though the Serengeti unfolded right in front of my eyes.

From the opening act, as a giant elephant came stomping down the isle next to me – followed by a baby elephant and others in the circle of life – I knew I was in for a special night.

The show is unlike any that I have ever seen and is one magical moment everyone should get the pleasure of experiencing.

Hopefully the next surprise will be coming back to Jacksonville with the “Best of Show” award!
