The story
When young Simba, heir to the Pride Lands, loses his father Mufasa to the treachery of his uncle Scar, he flees in shame and self-doubt. Years later, guided by his friends and the spirit of his father, he must face his past and embrace his destiny as king. From lush African landscapes to the stampede sequence that redefined stagecraft, The Lion King on Broadway roars with emotion until Simba steps into the light, but can he truly forgive the past?
