GIRAFFE from 'Circle of Life' - THE LION KING

Watch how the actor (Ray Mercer) becomes the steep and slender Giraffe—the towering puppet that sets the stage as the sun rises during "Circle of Life."

THE LION KING continues ascendant as one of the most popular stage musicals in the world, with a worldwide gross exceeds that of any film, Broadway show or other entertainment title in box office history. Winner of six 1998 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, The LION KING has also earned more than 70 major arts awards in America and worldwide. The show’s director, costume designer and mask co-designer Julie Taymor continues to play an integral part in the show’s ongoing success, and holds the honor of the first woman to win a Tony Award for Direction of a Musical.

Saw this show back in June, it's absolutely brilliant, seeing all the animals pass right by me (I was in an isle seat) was amazing. It's a pure spectacle and is absolutely incredible in every way totally recommend
