This is probably the most surreal week I ever had in my life.
Never did I expect to have lunch with a very talented actor from The Lion King.
I had always been crazy about TLK since I was 6, and to be able to watch it live in the theatre was definitely one of my happiest moments this year (not once, but twice). The actor that impressed me most was Lyall Ramsden., who played Zazu. Not only did he have amazing puppetry skills, he had great vocals and aesthetics. Definitely my favourite character in the musical.
Not gonna put my grandmother story here, but I had the golden opportunity to buy him lunch at Crystal Jade this week, and in turn, he offered to give me the program with the signatures of most of the main cast. :)
Imagine the excitement in me. I felt like a little kid all over again, and in a sense, it's a dream come true for a huge TLK fan.
More importantly, I'm thankful that he was humble and opened, agreeing to meet me not once, but twice, despite the busy schedule.
Glad to have made a new friend :)
