What’s New in Boston for Kids
Chronicle explores “What’s New” in Boston. Join Shayna Seymour as she goes behind the scenes in the new production of the classic musical, The Lion King, now playing at the Boston Opera House.
In addition to grabbing a behind-the-scenes look, Shayna also joins the cast onstage as the role of a ‘Bird Lady’ for one of last week’s stellar performances. See the pictures below of Shayna getting ready for the show as it returns to Boston.
Also, tune in to see a new 4-D theater at Boston’s Museum of Science that doesn’t just treat the eyes, but ramps up the cinematic experience with smells and sensations. Museum visitors can surf the coast with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and glide alongside a cast of balletic sea lions in Planet Earth: Shallow Seas 4-D Experience; join Dora, Diego, and Boots as they try to catch a Robot Butterfly in Dora & Diego’s 4-D Adventure; or journey to the icy Antarctic world to meet Mumble in Happy Feet 4-D Experience.
Plus, we found an East Boston dock that’s about to get its own tattoo, and a local salvage company that allows customers to dine in then take home the dining table.
