BUT SERIOUSLY, FOLKS: THE LION KING!

This was a great show. We saw it at Keller Auditorium in Portland, OR. Our seats were good, and the performance was amazing! If you get a chance to see this show, it is well worth it. While the story and many of the songs are familiar, the costumes and stage sets are incredible. Kelly and I saw this on Broadway in NYC about five years ago when we went on a week-long field trip to the east coast with some of her 8th grade classmates. It was a great show then, and it was just as good this time. My wife Kit and younger daughter Katie were enthralled! It was well worth the price of the tickets and the 260-mile drive from La Grande.

Next month we'll make the drive again, this time for Paul McCartney. Sadly, our seats are behind the stage, but what the heck. If we have to look at Paul's butt for most of the show, at least it's a BEATLE butt.
