What an exhausting we this was, but it was all worth it! Saturday my mom and I went to Hamburg to see the musical "Lion King".
Okay, getting up at 4 am after a week of not-so-much-sleeping wasn't the best that could happen and a bus drive of 4,5 hours isn't realxing either, but it was abiding.^^ I was looking forward to 3 hours of shopping in Hamburg city and somehow I was more excited for the shopping than for the musical, at the beginning! mmh.....
My mom and I literally ran through the "Mönkebergstraße", a street of about 2 km with shop after shop. I bought a sweat-shirt, 2 t-shirts, ear-rings, 2 hair-bands and a cap for the probably freezing winter.^^
And then we drove to the harbour. A special "lion King" ship drove all visitors to the other shore were the theater was. While eating there we also got to know two people fromm Cologne who nearly told us the story of their lifetime during the 15 minutes we sat together! *lol* It was very funny!
Sitting in line 3 I nearly sat at the stage. I had the seat at the side of this row and wasn't able to see all of the left part of the stage, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, nearly everything happened in the center! And then it started! "Circle of life" sung by people with voices sounding as not from this world. I never heard such powerful voices live! Giraffes, elephantes, antelopes, birds, even a hippo, and of course everal lions entered the stage. I was near crying, for real. It was so amazing. Indescribable!!!!!!!
Afterwars I would have loved to stay for the other show of that evening, but unfortunately we had the bus waiting for us.
But I told myself that I will go and see it again, in about 1 or 2 years I think.
But primaly next year's 1st season I will watch "Tanz der Vampire" and "The beauty and the beast" in Berlin. I can't wait!
Bye for now says the new-born musical addict!^^
