wonderful show at the Mandalay Bay Theatre
There is one show in Vegas that I consider a must see for all ages. This is a wonderful one to take your kids to when visiting Vegas. I had the plaesure of being able to see it when it was showing in Toronto, Canada years ago.
The show that I'm speaking of is Disney's The Lion King. No I'm not talking about the movie. This is a musical that tells the story and does so with brilliant choreography. It is being shown daily at the Mandalay Bay Theatre.
In this show you watch as Simba grows up first embrassing, then running from, then finally emrassing again his destiny as the king of his pride. In this show they use a form of puppetry called Bunraku Puppetry from Japan that shows both puppet and performer singing and dancing while also minipulating the large puppets along the storyline. With other performers the use the unique costumes designed by Taymor in which they use african style masks with fitted head pieces and other moveable cotume pieces that transform the performer into their charachter without completely hiding their faces and body movements.
Like I said this show is a must see when going to Vegas.
