As Rafiki the mandrill (the adorable Buyi Zama, a veteran in the role) intones “Circle of Life,” and the most extraordinary theatrical, life-sized puppet-animals — an elephant, rhino, giraffes, antelopes, a cheetah — come down the aisles of the theater and fill the stage, it’s breathtaking, heart-stopping, even tears (of joy) jerking. At Thursday’s San Francisco opening of the North American tour, which runs through Dec. 31, everyone in the Orpheum’s audience was smiling, witnessing the amazing display. The Tony Award-winning show’s box office gross is the biggest in entertainment history and it’s not hard to understand why. It’s a visual spectacle of high order, the kind only Disney can do, based on a blockbuster animated family film. Some 20 years after it debuted on Broadway (and in The City for the third time) the creation of director, puppet maker, costume designer and co-lyricist Julie Taymor holds up — even with ear-splitting sound glitches like what happened at Thursday’s opening. But no one seemed to mind too much when the show was stopped for several minutes in Act 1 to make the fixes. While the universal story of lion cub Simba’s coming-of-age (book by movie co-director Roger Allers and screenplay co-writer Irene Mecchi) and familiar score (by Elton John, Tim Rice and Lebo M) are undeniably appealing, “The Lion King’s” genius really is in its innovative, inventive staging, with scenery by Richard Hudson, lighting by Donald Holder, and naturalistic yet fantastic masks and puppets by Taymor and Michael Curry. No expense has been spared. When Simba’s friend, hornbill Zazu (Drew Hirshfield) wisecracks that the colorful stage curtain looks like it comes from “Tarjay,” it really is a joke: “The Lion King’s” sumptuous, painstaking, intricately detailed design is strictly couture. The actors do show spirit as they fill the costumes, from Dashaun Young as grown-up Simba to Gerald Ramsey as Simba’s noble father Mufasa to Mark Campbell as his evil brother Scar, and Tiffany Denise Hobbs, Keith Bennett and Robbie Swift as Ed as Scar’s nasty cohorts, the hyenas. Rounding out the cast are tour veterans Nick Cordileone as meerkat Timon and Ben Lipitz as warthog Pumbaa, who befriend young Simba (Jalen Harris on opening night), and whose antics most resemble their cartoon counterparts. In the 21 century, “The Lion King” remains a winner, even for musical lovers who’ve seen “The Book of Mormon” and will never hear the chipper tune “Hakuna Matata” the same way again.

Prince Mikasa, the youngest brother of Japan's wartime ruler Emperor Hirohito, was the uncle of current monarch Emperor Akihito. Today solemn ceremonies were held in memory of a man who challenged the notion that his brother was divine, and called for his abdication after Japan's war defeat. Prince Mikasa, the oldest monarch in Japanese history, was famously appalled by the atrocities he witnessed, and vocally criticised Japan's aggression during the war. Although the conflict was presented to citizens as a sacred war, the royal came to question this. He wrote a scathing report about the brutality he witnessed, revealing chemical warfare experiments had been carried out on prisoners of war in Manchuria, and claimed this was fuelling Chinese resistance. The document was kept secret by military chiefs, and the public only became aware of it 50 years later. Mikasa, the fourth son of the Emperor Taisho and Empress Teimei, also alleged that an attempt had been made to poison a League of Nations delegation which was investigating a bombing by Tokyo. In a 1994 interview with the Yomiuri newspaper, Mikasa said: 'I was really shocked when an officer told me that the best way to train new soldiers was to use living prisoners of war for bayonet practice because it gave them will power.' Following the war, Mikasa called for his brother to abdicate, supported by imperial princes at a privy council meeting. He said his brother should take responsibility for what had happened. But Hirohito refused, and continued to rule until his death in 1989. Mikasa considered renouncing his own title, but opted against such an extreme measure. A critic of the pomp and ceremony that surrounded the royal court, he travelled by train to the Japanese Society for Middle Eastern Studies, which he founded, and ate his lunch around the students. He preferred to be addressed as 'Mikasa-san' like ordinary Japanese people. His death comes amid renewed attention to the future of a monarchy whose past traditionalists say stretches back 2,600 years and whose future currently rests with one 10- year-old boy.
