Roaring with The Lion King


Culture is a great thing. Something we could all use a bit of every now and again. Music, dance, a great story and a full belly afterward. Doesn't get any better! This past Saturday (June 15) the Travel Masters took 43 of our closest friends to the Tulsa Performing Arts Center to see the Broadway production of Disney's The Lion King. This was our third time to see this fantastic show and it gets better every time we see it. The costumes, colorful and amazing; the music had us tapping our toes and yes, even singing along and the story had even the the toughest among us shed an emotional tear or two of sadness and joy. Can't wait until the next show!


Our dinner following The Lion King performance was a surprise to everyone but Marsha, myself and of course, our motor coach driver. We joined up with our good friends, The Grand Travelers from Grand Savings Bank in Grove, Oklahoma and made our way to the Tulsa Zoo and Living Museum. A catered meal was waiting for us which was thoroughly enjoyed by the group. The real treat in going to the Zoo for dinner after 5:00 pm was that we had the run of the place after closing. So what, you might say. Well, it was wonderfully enjoyable in that the tigers were out and roaring, the elephants were out and majestically walking about, flamingos were flamingo-ing, the monkeys were doing their thing and the king of beasts, the lions were letting us know that's exactly what they are. A train ride around the Zoo plus a spin on the carousel capped off a wonderful day of animals, real and artistic.  Our thanks go to Allyson at Celebrity Attractions and Amy at the Tulsa Zoo for helping us make this day and evening a memorable one.
