We made it! March 10 2011. The date redmarked in everyone’s calendar, the one point that we’ve been working towards. After years of planning, The Lion King was officially open in Singapore! For the Cast and Crew who had gathered here from 12 different countries, it was the end of an intense preparation process which started with the unloading of 29 container-loads of sets, props and costumes, through to 500 hours of intensive rehearsals. The Pride was finally home.
And in traditional Broadway style, Gala Night was a red carpet, black tie, invitation only event, to celebrate the arrival of the biggest theatrical blockbuster to open in Singapore.
Celebrating with the cast and crew was an exclusive guest list of 1600 of The Lion King’s best fans, including celebrities and theatre luminaries. Following are some of the scenes from the Gala event.
Recognise anyone?
