The big expense of our NYC trip was Broadway tickets to see The Lion King. It was really the highlight of our trip & I'm so glad we did it! We went back and forth between this and Hamilton, and I'm definitely glad we saw The Lion King. The opening act was so good & nearly had me in tears. It's a pretty small theatre & those performers were incredible! The Lion King has always been one of my favorites...I remember vividly getting the VHS tape in my Easter basket in 1995 shortly after it came out. And I bought a Lion King journal the first time I ever went into a Disney Store, in Penn Square Mall on a field trip in the 7th or 8th grade. All that to say, The Lion King has sentimental value to me, so I loved seeing it on Broadway. The girls loved it as well! Brian, on the other hand...well...he didn't feel very good and he ended up leaving at the intermission. I really think he was completely exhausted and just needed to rest. He ended up meeting back up with us at John's Pizzeria in Times Square for dinner afterwards. Then we finished out the day with a trip to the Empire State Building and Carlos Bakery. I was glad he got to feeling better and was able to enjoy the evening with us!
Our theater loving girl was very excited to see a show on Broadway!
They were playing rock-paper-scissors to see who got the aisle seat for the first half of the show. Pretty sure Mackenzie won.
I tried to sneak and get a few pictures, but I got in trouble...oh well!
The girls both spent some of their souvenir money GMa gave them on Lion King shirts.
This was the view out the window of the Lion King lobby. I didn't realize it was right in the middle of Times Square like this.
