Costumes for 'Lion King' continue to amaze the show's many fans
TribLIVE: In 1995, when Julie Taymor first began work on “The Lion King,” the first person she knew she would hire was Michael Curry. Sixteen years after it opened on Broadway, Curry, who designed the show's masks and puppets with Taymor, is still working on it.

The drama textbooks will remind you that one experiences a “willful suspension of disbelief” when watching a dramatic performance. But, Cirque du Soleil can not be lassoed into any single artistic category. It’s an art form you have to live in at the moment. You carry with you a kind of evolving, artistic impression that is different every time you see a show like this. I spoke with Tom Wegis, the Operations Production Manager of The Beatles Love. We talked about his experience in orchestrating the various technical departments of the production, and how they create the signature magic of Cirque du Soleil on The Beatles Love night after night.
