Finley's First Musical

The Lion King is playing at Hobby Center this summer. Neither Clifton nor I had seen it, but his co-workers said it was great for kids. I was a bit nervous about Finley making it through the nearly three hour show, but she did great. The opening song with all the animals parading through the theater had Finley entranced. She sat on my lap the entire time so she could see everything. We had great seats in the first row of the mezzanine, so she was able to see very well. I think she may have nodded off a bit towards the end, but once all the animals were out again, she was wide awake. During intermission she selected a Zazu bird to take home. At the start of the second act, there were women all over the theater flying birds on sticks, Finley flew her Zazu too! Finley did so well that we went ahead and ordered tickets for Beauty and the Beast in September.
