Lion King The Musical

Seen the Lion King musical last night. Completely enthralled by the music, voices, spectacular scenic design and costumes! Loved every minute of it. My favourite characters (in no particular order) were Zasu (the hornbill), Timon (the meerkat) and Pumbaa (big-mouthed warthog). They were really funny and the way those puppeteers gave their dialogues, sang, and control the puppets at the same time was really amazing..pure talent I may say.

One of the people in the audience didn't manage to control him/herself (not sure) and took 3 photo shots with the camera and with the flash on! I'm sure a lot of people have raised their eyebrows. Can't believe he/she did that!

The first musical I've seen was Miss Saigon back when it was staged in Manila, Philippines. I have bee living in the UK for 5 years now and this is the first time I've seen one in London. I will surely watch more!


Before seeing The Lion King, we had a very nice meal @ Pasta Brown. Ordered prawns with garlic sauce for starters, and linguine with langoustine for main course. Didn't realise their serving is massive! There I was, trying to finish this big bowl of pasta..I failed the task! Should've ordered a kiddie size hahaha!(none available tho). Once again, didn't have room for dessert.

Pasta Brown: 7/10

Took another photo of London as we walk along Waterloo bridge before catching the train back to Kingston. It was a very nice sight before ending a Friday night.
