I really want to read this! I loved The Lion King! The broadway cast came to a city near us and my DIL bought me a ticket for my birthday. We luckily went before the shutdown; they had to cancel some and I think the props, etc are still here. It was amazing!

Right now, my favorite musical is NEXT TO NORMAL because my granddaughter played the part of Natalie in a local community theatre production. I am playing her songs almost every day. I am hoping to win the books listed as I believe they are books she would be thrilled to read. Thank you, Cindy and Amy.
