THE LION KING
Last December 17, Thomson Phils. had its Christmas 2005 party in Shangrila Makati. The party theme was "Thomson at the MOVIES". The group presentation was assigned every floor. The 17th floor was assigned the fantasy theme for the presentation. I decided that we go for DISNEY movies since it's a fantasy one.I chose LION KING because this particular movie/musical is close to my heart. This musical has captivated me with the props and music. WOW! That's all I can say everytime I watch the video of the LION KING musical.
It was not easy staging a production even with just one song from the movie. I chose the song "THE CIRCLE OF LIFE". On the stage performers, it was rather easy because all they have to do is walk on stage and remember where they should position. But I admire their guts because I know they are not performers. The harder part of the play was the making of the props and costume. I am thankful to Hope Vega's team and Sir Joey for coming up with those beautiful props and costumes for the play.
The whole production was a blast. Everytime an animal comes out on stage, the people clap and get amazed. I also thank that I have those graceful dancers as lionesses. Watching the video of the play, I can hear the people shouting and clapping their hands. WOW! It was so satisfying to hear people cheer and appreciate the play I directed.
The LION KING was judged the BEST MOVIE presentation. Other entries were CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON(20th floor) and AUSTIN POWERS(18th floor). The group won PHP20000. And I also won PHP2500 for the STAR OF THE NIGHT award.
