Heads Up: The Lion King Is Coming to Town

Seattlest caught The Lion King on Broadway when we were living on that end of the urban archipelago. We chose that show because it was the only kid-friendly show we could get tickets to, and our niece (six at the time) was in town. We have to say we were surprised and impressed. It's an incredibly well-done show, and the costumes, in particular, are impressive. We suggest you go. The show opens at the Paramount in February, but tickets ($19.50-$75) go on sale next week, Oct. 24.
