Over in the United States, it is expensive to see a musical. This summer, I have been going to my hometown’s community college, which is less expensive than a touring production. In one month, going to my first touring production this year: Lion King.
Touring Productions are how I can see professional productions (Charlotte’s community college does not feel like you are watching a community college production: just saying). I first saw Lion King in elementary school (no memory) so it will be like going for the first. I am called the expensive child due to my love for musicals.
