THE LION KING - in Hamburg
The lion king - Finally - we made it!
Christophs Mom made us a great present - 2 years ago - a gift certificate for the musical of "the lion king" which is beeing presented in Hamburg.
We never found time to go - but in the summer we finally got time to buy a ticket - thats not enough, though. It took 6 months till they had free tickets.
So today - it was time to go!
I got my hair poofy - and we got ready to go. We went out to eat at a nice steak house in the centre. It was really nice.
The best thing about Lion King in Hamburg is, that it is being performed in a marquee on the other side of the Elbe river - this leads to the wonderful matter, that you go there by ferry.
This is the tent - doesn't it look pretty right at the river?
It's a special "lion king" ferry and it takes you to the other side of the elbe.
this is the ferry:
The musical itself was wunderful. They had great masks - which kind of folded down in front of the face. They were electric. And then there was a huge elefant - there was a man in every leg. The costumes were sooo amazing.In my opinion - the best thing was the gras - you will ask "THE GRAS?????" Yes - the gras - those were men and women - and they had a square piece of gras on their heds. And they wore cute skirts which wound up when they turned. It was great. Here I found a picture online.
We had a great evening and decided that we should take some time-out more often. We hardly never find time to get some nice stuff done, like that. It's weird. I wish we could "break out" a little more frequent.
When you guys come to visit - we will take you to the "lion king"! Hamburg is just beautiful!
This is the proof - we were there:
I found another Video on youtube.com.
