Was feeling restless, so I decided to pop in on some of my other castmates! Fred Berman (Timon) and Ben Jeffrey (Pumbaa).

We stop by and see the always fabulous Michelle Brugal, Nicole Adell Johnson (front) and Natalie Turner.
With the 1st show down, we get ourselves out of makeup and enjoy a well earned nap. And maybe, just maybe, we snuggle a little...but not a lot.
I love it when it's Fred's birthday, because after our nap, I get to eat his cupcakes.
But just before Fred heads upstairs to get his makeup completed, we get a surprise visit from Scar and Zazu (Gareth Saxe and John E. Brady)!
We're totally badass, right?
And there's the man of the hour, Fred Berman, alias Timon. He's ALWAYS so happy to see me...
10:55 PM: Signing autographs at the stage door.
10:45 PM: Working hard to shed that green!
10:30 PM: Coming offstage after curtain call: a blur of excitement.
6:15 PM: Back to the Minskoff to grab a quick pre-second show nap.
7:15 PM: The juice of life is needed once again!
5:15 PM: Dinner with the family at the Galaxy Diner on Ninth Avenue.
RIIIIII-COOOOO-LAAAAAAAA! A daily ritual before heading back for Act Two.
2:50 PM: While the wildebeest stampede rages outside, Timon makes his daily quick call home to Mrs. Meerkat before hitting the stage.
2:30 PM: The very different warm-up stylings of Timon and Pumbaa.
Does this green make my nose look big?
1:45 PM: Let the green begin!
Pre-make-up exercises. Mmmmm, yeah, feel the burn....
At long last, we arrive at the Pridelands.
12:30 PM: The sweet elixir of life in hand, our brave meerkat begins his descent into Manhattan's underground for the long journey ahead of him.
Lunchtime sustenance before hitting the road: fresh empanadas from Buenos Dias Bakery Cafe (owned by Lion King assistant make-up supervisor Marian Torre). Muy Bueno.
A meerkat family picnic in the park.
11 AM: The boys head out to the local Farmers Market for some fresh grub (not to be confused with fresh GRUBS).
July 31, 2010. 9:30 AM. The day begins for the meerkat with an early birthday celebration thrown by his young cubs, Benjamin and Isabella (Momma Kate helped out, too).
