Day 344 -Liberty Magic-Dennis Watkins: The Magic Parlour- A Sophisticated Show that Makes You Believe

My blog inspirational series of books, Everything I Need To Know I Learned From a Little Golden Book, reminds us that, “All you need is a little magic in your life.” You can get that at  Liberty Magic, Pittsburgh’s intimate venue dedicated solely to the slight of hand.  Each Liberty Magic show is a unique brew of the individual’s approach to the art and their bag of tricks.  Dennis Watkins brings The Magic Parlour, the longest running show in Chicago’s historic Palmer House Hilton Hotel, to Pittsburgh. I was excited to experience this show that is inspired by the sophistication of the 1900’s parlor magicians and rarely viewed outside of the Windy City. 

Day 343 -THE LION KING - Bold Journey Through the African Savanna for all Ages.

THE LION KING, based on Disney’s animated movie, is not just for children.  The show won 6 Tony Awards and fuses pop music written by Elton John and Tim Rice with African rhythms. The African plains come to life with the spectacular blending of puppetry and actors. It tells the story of the lion cub, Simba's journey to become the ruler of Pride Rock like Mufasa, his father. It’s a bold musical and visual journey into the African Savanna.
