Lion King at the Atlanta Civic Center

For Christmas last year, Ricky gave me tickets to the
Lion King musical at the Atlanta Civic Center, and
tonight was the night! 4th row, 'VIP' seats (it was like
sitting with Simba on Pride Rock in person!) with all
the freebies (complimentary baseball caps, fancy
programs, souvenirs, etc). I felt like a local hot shot.

The best part was driving to the Civic Center in my
pollen-covered VW, with one headlight burned out.
Hello, the Beverly Hill Billy has come to town! :)

Seriously though, the musical was fantastic! Great
costuming and choreography, good music, funny
one-liners that were different from the Broadway
version... it was wonderful! I suggest seeing it.

Gladys Knight will be there in concert in June.
Anyone?
