My students need a trip to Broadway so that they can learn how to perform a skit from a Broadway performer.

My Students
My students are eager kindergarteners. They are like sponges who soak up information and knowledge. The best way to do that is with hands-on activities, which includes taking part in the school play.
Do you remember the first time you saw Simba, Nala, Timon, and Pumba?
My students are dramatic. Now I want to channel that drama to the small stage. They love being read to. Recently we have been talking about characters in books. They said they saw the movie and that day proceeded to pretend to be puppies in class.
My Project
My students will be practicing for their performance of the Lion King during the school year. To commemorate their hard work, my students would like to go see Disney's "The Lion King" on Broadway. Many of them have seen the cartoon version of the Lion King, but none of them have seen it on Broadway, and many do not even know that "The Lion King" is a Broadway show.
My students will be learning to do an act from a Broadway number from an actual Broadway performer, and then they will be performing it on Broadway!
How many children can say that they performed on Broadway and learned a piece from a Broadway performer? I am hoping that they will be inspired by this trip and have their theatrical juices inspired so that they may one day have an opportunity to return to the stage when they are older.
