*So were there any big changes in Lion King from the Bway production to the tour? Like, I know in Thoroughly Modern Millie they took out the elevator, which sorta bummed me out. I've seen the tour of both of these shows, but neither on Broadway.
the biggest change was PRIDE ROCK. Naturally, we couldn't go around digging 30 foot elevators into every stage we played... so an "accordian" like version of Pride Rock was built for the tour.
I called her "Miss Rock" cause she was QUITE the Diva!!! If anybody could miss a cue (more than ONCE) and get away with it... it was her!
What were your fave places to visit?
FLORIDA!!!! WHOOO -HOOOO for the entire 02/03 Winter!! YES! why? BECAUSE I HATE SNOW AND COLD WEATHER!!!! It was sweet....
* A few of those cities are back to back performances for one day only, etc.
not on our tour (thank God!)
*did you have to learn puppetry for the show? what was that like?
Rafiki only handles one puppet and that's "Baby Simba" or "Stiffy" as we liked to call him. Not too bad - except the levers that work his head and limbs could be difficult to manuver with the Rafiki fingers on.... (ohhhhh that MISERABLE - but extremely effective costume)
*does the tour do the "grass", I thought that was so awesome when I saw in 5 years ago
Yes they "do the grass" - as in a dance (not a toke
)
ps - where is this "refresh" button everyone keeps talking about...?
"Stupidity should be PAINFUL!" - Cam
"Yeah - painful for the STUPID not the rest of us!"
