Occasionally being a part of the touring company of a musical has its advantages. In this case it just so happened that our set designer for Beauty and the Beast had also designed the set for one of the shows at Sea World in San Diego. Because of this, he was able to set us up with free admission to the park!
If you ask most people what their favorite show at Sea World is, their response will probably include either dolphins or killer whales. Mine was the sea lion and otter show!
The beginning of the show was all the sea lion, and I mean who doesn't love seeing a sea lion give mouth to mouth. The whole thing changed though when the otter made his first appearance!
Now I make no secret of the fact that I love river otters, but never have I wanted to kidnap an animal like I wanted to leave with this otter!
I mean is that not the most adorable thing ever?! And it is trained to sound the alarm in case of ghosts! (It was Halloween)
While I am at it, I will take one of the sea otters too!
I know otters are not soft and cuddly like they appear, and they are also not very friendly towards humans. But obviously they can be trained!?
The set for the dolphin show is the one that Stan Meyer created.
Like the pandas at the zoo, the killer whales are the marquee attraction at Sea World. Sure they are impressive, but they are no river otters!
...and for those German speaking visitors...
