While Simba's in the graveyard, Scar lures Mufasa there just as he's striking up a stampede.
He puts his plan into motion when the over-curious Simba goes to visit him outside the Pride Lands, where Scar encourages Simba to explore even more forbidden territory - an elephant graveyard - against Mufasa's wishes. He plans to kill Mufasa and Simba in order to steal the line of succession. That happens to be the home of Scar, Mufasa's bitter brother who wants the Pride Lands throne for himself. As Simba grows into a feisty cub, Mufasa explains to Simba that he'll one day take over the throne of the Pride Lands, but warns him to stay away from the shadowy area behind the Pride Lands.
The Lion King opens with the birth of Simba to King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi, who rule the African Pride Lands. Whether you first fell in love with the story of Simba as a young cub or as an adult, you'll feel the love tonight when you see The Lion King's family-centered story and eye-catching spectacle. The plot of The Lion King movie, of course, also remains intact for the musical: The young lion cub Simba is destined to become King of the Pride Lands one day, but when his evil uncle Scar usurps the throne and Simba is left on his own, he has to find in himself the qualities of true royalty that will let him retake his rightful place. The Lion King musical faithfully retains all the hit songs from the film, like "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?," "Hakuna Matata," and "I Just Can't Wait to Be King," but the show also creates a wholly unique visual experience of its own, bringing the wildlife of the Pride Lands to life with life-size carved puppets that the actors wear.
The Disney film captured the emotions of countless audiences upon its premiere in 1994, and the musical adaptation did the same just three years later. Be prepared to check out The Lion King, Broadway's wildly popular and third-longest-running show.
