Obama girls see 'Lion King' in London

LONDON, June 9 (UPI) -- Michelle, Sasha and Malia Obama attended Tuesday night's performance of Disney's "The Lion King" in London, representatives for the musical said.

The wife and daughters of U.S. President Barack Obama joined an audience of more than 2,000 theater-goers for the show at the Lyceum Theatre in London's West End.

The visit to the award-winning musical was in celebration of Sasha's 8th birthday, the theater said a news release.

En route back to the United States from Paris, the Obama family also visited London's Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, the "Harry Potter" film set and a traditional British pub where they reportedly dined on fish and chips.
