When I'm King, what'll that make you?

The lions were not sleeping last night - in fact they were all singing and dancing and performing in a most amazing way you can possible imagine. And so were the hyeenas, zebras, antilopes, giraffes, elephants and lots of other fauna.

I am naturally talking about last night's performance of the Lion King in the Montecasino Teatro in Johannesburg.

The show is finally brought to Africa and rightly so, as there would not be a lion king without Africa.

I have always loved the story and the characters in it and the show lived up to all my expectations. The costumes were truly awesome and it was just so entertaining in every way.



I'm a also big fan of the dialogue in the story, and this is one to remember:

Young Simba: Hey, Uncle Scar. Guess what?
Scar: I despise guessing games.
Young Simba: I'm going to be King of Pride Rock.
Scar: Oh Goodee.
Young Simba: My dad just showed me the whole kingdom. And I'm gonna rule it all. Heheh.
Scar: Yes, well forgive me for not leaping for joy. Bad back, you know.
Young Simba: Hey Uncle Scar, when I'm King, what'll that make you?
Scar: A monkey's uncle.
Young Simba: You're so weird.
Scar: You have no idea.

If you are in Johannesburg, don't miss the show!
