YYAAAASSSS!!!!! I literally smile the whole time! I missed the time 2 years ago, when I have the opportunity to come and see you on stage with the amazing cast ofThe Lion King, It was my first Broadway show ever, which I been dreaming about since I was four years old and it make me feel so alive and that I finally find the place called home. Can you please do a singing off between you and L Steven Taylor. That would be hilarious and awesome at same time! You're awesome!
