I think my brain melted. There were giraffes.

I went and saw The Lion King with my mom, John, and one of his nieces tonight (it had been mine and her's big Christmas gift) at the Philadelphia Academy of Music.

During the first number I geeked out like you wouldn't believe. The artistry of the masks and puppets is just amazing. But I think the giraffes are what really got me. It's one thing to hear about the whole thing, but something else entirely to actually see it. Even if I had an obstructed view of the center of the stage, it was still *really*, *really* cool.

And Timon and Zazu were really cool.
