The Ending of a Chapter

Well, today was my final day at The Lion King. Yesterday I had a farewell potluck. That was so amazing. There were so many things that were kept a secret from me,like a book that was full of people's thoughts and memories. Also Khail did a dance while Jade sang. Josh sang "I'll Be There" to me too. I cried like a baby. I couldn't believe all the love that I got from my theater family. Today was my very last day at The Lion King. It's bitter sweet to leave, but, in the words of Khail, it's not a goodbye it's just a see you later. So see you later Lion King. Time to start a new chapter in my life. TTYL

Count Down Time

Well, I have 4 performances left. I started taking my stuff home last week and I thought I would feel really sad, but I don't. I guess it's because I'll be coming back in June to cover for a week so it doesn't really feel like good-bye. It feels more like "see you later!" So many people have come to see me perform recently. I have had guests every weekend in the months of March and April and I thank everyone for their support. I am looking forward to a little rest before God starts me on my next adventure. TTYL

Getting Ready to Say Farewell

I am really having fun working with the two new cubs, Shaylin and Judah. When I look at Judah, I see myself almost 2 years ago. I am proud of the work that I've done at the Lion King and I hope that I will leave a lasting impression in the theater. It's still hard to believe that in 2 short weeks, I'll be done. It is bittersweet, but the best part is that my parents and my wrangler are throwing me a great big send-off party. I'm looking forward to that! TTYL Alphonso
