disney presents.......... The Lion King, first stop in Asia, and they had been performing in Shanghai's Grand Theater since july, wow!!! all the way to october.
love it! went to watch on thursday and think it's jus terrific!!!
the theater was decorated with posters and we took like tonnes of photos before we went in. all jus nice.
one thing about shanghai's theater is that ppl tend to sit on other's places:
this guy was sitting in front of us changed his seat next to me after the rightful person who held his seat came. so i thought, well maybe he is supposed to sit beside me.
then during interval, the seats beside me changed people. this guy again changed his seat to a few seats down me, then i was "huh", so is that his final seat?
but when we left after the show ended, he was not on his "final" seat. so... where is his seat.
yes, ppl jus upgrade themselves if seats are available. well, yes i agree, we do that too.. but it's abit kua zhang here leh...
ok, back to the show... *drumrolls*(or rather, the lion roars!!!)
the opening was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
"animals" came thru the side doors, not only on the first level but also from the second and third level. really.... it's jus so so so so so so so forestly interactive.
so u have these buffaloes, elephants, dragonflies and butterflies marching down the theater up on stage and join in the celebration of SIMBA!!!!!!!!
me and xiaozhen actualy held hands when these animals came out, if i were to be that overly emotional, i think tears would be streaming down my cheeks as well...
hahah... wonderful! the future king. hee...
there were 2 or 3 more interactive sences like this during the show. great:)
i love this sence, the rest of the show was great too, but the ending is not that up beating. if we know the lion king story, simba and nala(or what's her name?) gave birth to another cub, and all the animals that belongs to the land of glory came back for this celebration. but *disappointment*, no animals came out from the side doors, only from the stage. ya... not such of a great end though.
come to think of it, maybe they thought it was not that appropriate as their presence might obstruct audiences who are preparing to leave the theater? but anyway...
little simba was too thin... hee, but nevertheless a cute little boy.
SIMBA, can u feel the love tonight?
