Tweet IMG_6788 When Max was 2, he told me he wanted to be The Lion King’s “Scar” for Halloween. Not just a sinister lion from the movie — no, that would be too easy. He wanted the Broadway version of Scar, “just like your costume, Dada.” mike_scar_fullbody Uhhhhh. Okay.  Of course, he told me this […]

Tweet selena Angela’s note: Our friend on tour Selena Moshell is a true adventurer.
