So, my friends and I were exploring a corner of downtown St. Louis last night, as we tend to do with ourselves when we get bored. Heather discovered a coffee shop she wanted to try (it was alright-- we could've done better, I think) Nonetheless, it was cool to out on the patio. Afterwards, we explored the area a bit, it being one of the nicer parts of the city.
Anyways, point of my story... on the way home, while defying death while merging into the required lanes and battling fellow commuters for rights to exit ramps, I saw it... a billboard proclaiming the triumphant return of 7-time Tony Award winner The Lion King Musical, coming to the St. Louis Fox Theatre in June.
Now, had I been the one driving, I would have veered off the ramp in excitement. Being a passenger, I merely started shouting and jumping up and down in my seat, squealing with delight.
This is crazy, because not two weeks ago, during finals week, I had downloaded the Lion King Original Cast Recording soudntrack. It has been on non-stop repeat on my iPod ever since (for those of you who have been reading my blog regularly thus far, you've seen the recently listened to tracks in the left panel-- you know what I'm talking about.) From then on, I decided that I MUST see this show, if it ever came my way.
And now, through some strange twist of fate... it IS! I can't believe my luck! Seriously, I just keep sitting here in complete and utter disbelief. And obsession. Oh yes, obsession.
I am such a huge Lion King fan, for one. I own all the movies, which I still watch several times each year. And the soundtracks are to die for. The musical soundtrack is just amazing, because most of the songs from the movies are taken from the stage.
I'm going to convince my parents to let me get tickets and go. I CAN'T miss this opportunity that I have been waiting for for four years!
I just can't wait... to see the Lion King Musical!
