Lion King on Broadway · PACKERSHOME

Just got home from taking my parents to see Lion King on Broadway, and this has been the first time I have ever felt this much emotion about a production (movie, tv program or stage show). When I say this was a spine-tingling performance, I absolutely mean it (keep in mind that I've never given another form of entertainment this kind of review).

From the moment 'The Circle of Life' first started playing, I got goosebumps. The scene where we last see Simba and Mufasa alive literally grabbed me by the throat. The costumes and sets/backdrops were beautifully elegant (and complicated in some scenes). All the way to the last scene where they reprise 'The Circle of Life' (also giving me goosebumps) I was enthralled.

I submit that anyone who didn't at least like this show does not have a soul.

In short: GO!

We have seen the Broadway performance of The Lion King three times now. Twice in Spokane WA, and once in Chicago. An absolutely stunning show, and you're right...from the opening "Circle of Life" to the end you are enthralled by the show.

We have tickets to see it again in Spokane this June. I have two shirts from the show, one a Tee-shirt and one a sweat shirt that have Scar pictured on it and his famous line...."I'M SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS!!" I wear it when I substitute in PE classes down at school. Kids love it.

Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

But I guarantee this, the next time it's in Minneapolis, we are going. Even if it's just my wife and I. All day today at work I was humming/whistling Lion King songs. And I still can't believe what I saw.. It's like when I recall the memories from the show, it feels like I'm recollecting a dream instead of tangible memories.

Stunning.

Technically if you saw it in Minneapolis, Spokane, Chicago, etc., it was of Broadway.

To be "on Broadway", you would have to see it in the original cesspool of America, i.e., NYC.

But, I call it Lion King on Broadway because that's exactly what it says on my tickets. Well, 'Lion King on Broadway Across America'.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Well, not crazy, it makes sense. Crazy I didn't notice/find it earlier

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : it's crazy how one stored procedure to get data bogged everything down for speed here

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Rock claims to have never eaten a cheese curd

Zero2Cool (3-Aug) : We did not leave.

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money
