Things like that can be expected during the learning curve." Of both beast and man. Reflecting on his own training at SeaWorld - which requires intensive work with sea lions, walruses, otters, dolphins and the expert use of positive-reinforcement training before dealing with orcas - Hargrove says that experience was probably key to Peters' ability to get out of trouble.

But ever since the Walt Disney Co. discovered--first with Beauty and the Beast and most decisively, in 1997, with The Lion King--that its popular movies could have a long and profitable second life onstage, a prim English nanny has been waiting patiently in the wings. She was the star of one of the most beloved of all Disney movies, which boasted a made-to-order musical score--and real human characters to boot, who didn't need...
