The musical theater version of The Lion King is quite impressive, and very enjoyable, and tweaked things in a few very minor ways that nonetheless delighted me in a I-love-interesting-female-characters sense.

More later. (I'm hoping to spend part of my long-weekend vacation catching up on LJ posts!)

OMG, icon love!

Also, I saw The Lion King on Broadway a few years ago, and totally agree with your assessment.

Isn't the icon great? :D I yoinked it from bluebombadier.

The puppets and costumes were amazing, but the thing that impressed me the most was how much the gender balance of the musical shifted just by changing Rafiki's gender and putting the lioness hunting party on the stage more often.

So great! LJ doesn't recognize the username.

I hadn't noticed the gender balance shift at the time, but I can totally see it now that you pointed it out. The puppets & costumes were just awesome, too!

That's because I misspelled it. bluebombardier should work. Whoops.

My parents bought the whole family tickets as a Christmas gift. I'm really looking forward to it.
