LION KING LOOMS CLOSER

I received word from the management offices in Australia that my Singapore work visa has been approved.

1. Mr.Patrick is to inform us of his available date at ...

2. Mr.Patrick is also to bring the following documents to MOM when

The official Lion King Singapore website has launched.
And tickets are now on sale.

The launch of the website and the beginning of ticket sales to the general public all coincided with the splashy press conference held in the future home of the show in Singapore.

Anyone who really wants to see the opening night performance might be interested to know that Marina Bay Sands has also launched a contest, the winner getting two VIP red carpet tickets for opening night, which seems to be locked in for March 10.

(Sadly, airfare not included. But, hey, what's $2000 and 30 hours of travelling to attend a "Landmark Event"!)
