Don't tell the Disney people now colonizing 42nd Street (the ones for whom Brown will soon be working), but that's New York, the city of bright, cogitating mammals.

But the gaudily restored New Amsterdam Theatre on 42nd Street, where Disney's stage version of The Lion King opened last week, boasts nothing less than an entire store filled with sweatshirts, stuffed animals and other Simba memorabilia.
