“The exuberant new show Passing Strange is far richer in wit, feeling, and sheer personality than most of what is classified as musical theater these days.” – The New York Times

Out of my wife's last trip to NYC, only two shows made a major impression on her - Passing Strange and the straight play August: Osage County. She's not easily impressed, so praise as high as she was giving it is something to listen to.

The Lion King on "The View"

The Lion King is scheduled to appear on ABC's "The View" Friday, Dec. 21. In celebration of the show's 10th year on Broadway, members of the Broadway cast will perform "He Lives in You." What a great way to get a taste of the show before it heads back to Tampa in May!

As a bit of trivia, Broadway's "Nala" is Tampa Bay's own Kissy Simmons. She appear here at the TBPAC in many of our cabaret productions before landing the role of "Nala" in the first national tour of The Lion King and shortly thereafter being cast in the role on Broadway.
