Full Synopsis
RAFIKI gathers the ANIMALS of the Pridelands to welcome the newborn cub of King MUFASA and
Queen SARABI ("Circle of Life with Nants' Ingonyama"). The king's jealous brother, SCAR, no longer
heir to the throne, skips the ceremony, upsetting Mufasa. Time passes ("Grasslands Chant") and
YOUNG SIMBA grows into a curious young lion. Mufasa explains the circle of life and that Young
Simba will one day be king of the Pridelands. Young Simba shares this news with Scar, who encourages
his nephew to visit the forbidden Elephant Graveyard. Young Simba finds his best friend, YOUNG
NALA, hunting with SARAFINA and the LIONESSES ("The Lioness Hunt") and invites her on his
adventure. Once they ditch their overbearing babysitter, ZAZU ("I Just Can't Wait to Be King"), the
cubs encounter the ravenous SHENZI, BANZAI and ED in the graveyard. Mufasa arrives and pummels
the hyenas, then takes the cubs home. Scar emerges from the darkness to recruit the HYENAS in his
murderous plan to become king ("Be Prepared"). Back in the Pridelands, Mufasa reprimands Young
Simba, then shares the guidance of their ancestors, up among the stars ("They Live in You").

Enacting his plan, Scar leaves Young Simba alone in the gorge and signals the hyenas to scare a herd of
wildebeest ("The Stampede"). Scar alerts Mufasa, who leaps into the stampede to save his son. Mufasa
rescues Young Simba, but Scar pushes his brother back into the gorge, where he is trampled. Scar
blames Young Simba for the king's death and tells him to run away and never return. As Sarabi, Young
Nala, Rafiki and the lionesses mourn the loss of Mufasa and Young Simba ("The Mourning"), Scar
assumes the throne, uniting lions and hyenas under his dark reign. Lost in the desert, Young Simba
meets TIMON and PUMBAA, who take him to their "worry-free" jungle home ("Hakuna Matata").

Under Scar's reign, the Pridelands are nearly destroyed. Now grown, NALA decides to leave and seek
help ("Shadowland"). To her delight, she finds SIMBA alive in the jungle ("Can You Feel the Love
Tonight"). Nala urges him to take his rightful place as king but, still ashamed, Simba refuses. Rafiki
appears and helps Simba remember his father ("He Lives in You"). With newfound courage, Simba
agrees to return to the Pridelands. Timon and Pumbaa distract the hyenas ("Luau Hawaiian Treat") while
Nala rallies the lionesses. Simba confronts his uncle, the truth of Mufasa's murder is revealed and Scar
runs away, pursued by angry hyenas. With peace restored in the Pridelands, Simba takes his place as
king and the circle of life continues ("Finale").

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES

Casting
← Back to Disney's The Lion King JR.
Cast Size: Large (21 or more performers)
Cast Type: Children
Dance Requirements: Standard

Character Breakdown
Young Simba
The protagonist of the story, is an adventurous and endearing cub who can't wait to be king of
the Pridelands. Simba is playful, energetic, and naive, but after his father Mufasa's death,
Simba struggles with shame and his destiny. Cast a strong singer and dynamic performer in
this role.
Gender: Male
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: B3
Rafiki
A wise mandrill who acts as healer of the Pridelands and guides Simba on his journey home.
She is an omniscient character, evincing an air of mystery. Rafiki has significant solos in
"Circle of Life" and "He Lives in You," and leads the African chants throughout the show, so
cast a confident performer with a strong singing voice.
Gender: Female
Vocal range top: C5
Vocal range bottom: A3
Young Nala
A courageous lion and Young Simba's best friend. She is not afraid to speak her mind. While
Young Nala does sing a little, look for a strong female performer who can portray this
confident cub.
Gender: Female
Vocal range top: C5
Vocal range bottom: A3
Mufasa
The strong, honorable, and wise lion who leads the Pridelands. Mufasa should command
respect onstage and also show tenderness with his son, Simba. Cast a mature actor who can
convincingly portray the king.
Gender: Male
Vocal range top: C5
Vocal range bottom: B3
Scar
The antagonist of the show, overcome with jealousy of his brother, Mufasa, and nephew,
Simba. Coldhearted and wickedly intelligent, he will stop at nothing to become king of the
Pridelands. Cast a mature performer who can bring out this villain's dark side while handling
Scar's sarcastic sense of humor. As his solos can be spoken, opt for an actor over a singer.
Gender: Male
Vocal range top: A4
Vocal range bottom: A3
Zazu
The anxious yet loyal assistant to Mufasa who is always busy trying to do his duty. Zazu's
lyrics are spoken rather than sung, and the role can be played by a boy or girl.
Gender: Any
Shenzi
One of Scar's hyenas who plot to take over the Pridelands. She is the sassy one of the trio and
is always looking out for herself. With Banzai and Ed, she should be able to laugh loudly and
long, as well as be menacing to Young Simba and Young Nala.
Gender: Female
Banzai
A slick yet childish hyena who works for Scar. He would be the leader of the group if hyenas
weren't so lazy. Look for an outgoing and confident actor who can portray nastiness and
gruffness. As banzai is always featured with Shenzi and Ed, consider audit
Gender: Male
Ed
The third member of Scar's trio of lackeys. He has a loud, cackling laugh that is his only form
of communication. Ed should be played by an actor who can laugh unabashedly and
communicate through physicality and facial expressions rather than words. This role can be
played by a boy or girl.
Gender: Any
Sarabi
A featured lioness, Mufasa's mate, and Simba's mother. Sarabi has a few key speaking lines
for an actor who can deliver the care and command of a queen.
Gender: Female
Sarafina
A featured lioness and Nala's mother. She has one short, spoken line, so consider giving this
part to an actor who is putting in a lot of effort and hard work in rehearsal as a lioness.
Gender: Female
Simba
Grows from a cub to lion in "Hakuna Matata." Older Simba has more complex moments as
he reunites with Nala, mourns his father, and returns to confront Scar, so cast a more mature
actor. Be sure that the change in actors is clear: Try having Young Simba hand-off a costume
piece, such as a medallion, to older Simba. Also be sure that Simba and Young Simba share a
movement vocabulary.
Gender: Male
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: B3
Nala
Grows from a cub to a lioness before she confronts Scar, so cast a more mature actress to
play the character beginning in Scene 10, As with older Simba and Young Simba, ensure that
this switch in actors performing a single role is clear. Direct the actors to share a mask or
costume piece that distinctly represents Nala, as well as a movement vocabulary.
Gender: Female
Vocal range top: E5
Vocal range bottom: G3
Timon
An outcast meerkat who lives in the jungle with Pumbaa. He is afraid of his own shadow, but
pretends to be the confident, relaxed leader of the duo. Timon is one of the funniest
characters in the show and should be played by a charismatic actor who understands comic
timing. This part can be played by a boy or a girl.
Gender: Any
Vocal range top: B4
Vocal range bottom: B3
Pumbaa
A kindhearted, sensitive warthog who enjoys his simple life of grubs and relaxation. Cast a
boy or girl who can portray this loveable and loyal friend to Timon and Simba with deadpan
humor.
Gender: Any
Vocal range top: G5
Vocal range bottom: D4
Lionesses
The fierce hunters of the Pridelands and featured in "The Lioness Hunt," "The Mourning,"
and "Shadowland." These actors should be strong singers, as the material can be challenging.
Depending on the complexity of your choreography, particuarly for "The Lioness Hunt,"
strong dancers may be desirable as well.
Gender: Female
Hyenas
Scar's army, helping carry out his evil plot to take over the Pridelands. Hyenas are mangy,
mindless creatures who sing in "Be Prepared." Cast actors who are able to sing the
background parts of that song while playing the loud and raucous characters. Your hyenas
can double as animals of the Pridelands or lionesses.
Gender: Any
Ensemble
The ensemble plays various inhabitants of the Pridelands, such as giraffes, elephants,
antelopes, wildebeest, and other creatures you choose to include. This group can have as few
or as many performers as your production permits. Be sure to cast many strong singers. There
are also several moments to showcase individual dancers in "The Lioness Hunt" and "I Just
Can't Wait to Be King."

4 I Just Can’t Wait to be King

Simba gains permission from his mother to take his friend Nala to see “the watering
hole”, but unknown to their parents he really plans to go to the dangerous and
forbidden…
4 I Just Can’t Wait to be King Lyrics
[SIMBA]
I'm gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware!

[ZAZU]
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair

[SIMBA]
I'm gonna be the main event, like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down, I'm working on my roar!

[ZAZU]
Thus far, a rather... uninspiring thing

[SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

[ZAZU]
You've rather a long way to go, young master, if you think...

[SIMBA]
No one saying do this

[ZAZU]
Now when I said that, I -

[NALA]
No one saying be there
[ZAZU]
What I meant was...

[SIMBA]
No one saying stop that
[ZAZU]
Look, what you don't realize...

[SIMBA & NALA]

No one saying see here

[ZAZU]
Now see here!

[SIMBA]
Free to run around all day

[ZAZU]
Well, that's definitely out

[SIMBA]
Free to do it all my way!

[ZAZU]
I think it's time that you and I arranged a heart to heart

[SIMBA]
Kings don't need advice from little hornbills for a start

[ZAZU]
If this is where the monarchy is headed, count me out!
Out of service, out of Africa - I wouldn't hang about... aagh!
This child is getting wildly out of wing

[SIMBA]
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!

Everybody look left

Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm standing in the spotlight!

[ZAZU]
Not yet!
[ANIMALS]
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling

[ANIMALS & SIMBA]

Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh, I just can't wait to be king!
Oh I just can't wait... to be king!
[ZAZU, MUFFLED]
I beg your pardon, madam, but...
GET OFF! Simba? Nala!

5 Be Prepared
I never thought hyenas essential
They're crude and unspeakably plain
But maybe they've a glimmer of potential
If allied to my vision and brain
I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
And where do we feature?
Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared

Yeah, be prepared, we'll be prepared

For what?
For the death of the king
Why is he sick?
No fool, we're gonna kill him and Simba too
Great idea, who needs a king?
No king, no king, la-la-la-la-la-la
Idiots, there will be a king
Eh, but you said
I will be king
Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again
Yay, (alright) alright, long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king

It's great that we'll soon be connected

With a king who'll be all-time adored
Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me
So prepare for the coup of the century
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning
Tenacity spanning
Decades of denial
Is simply why I'll
Be king undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared

Young Nala and Rafiki:

Hamela Hamela Hamela Hamela Ha ha

Young Nala, Rafiki and Sarabi:
Hamela Hamela Hamela hamela Ha Ha
(Repeat until everyone joins)
All:

(repeat until break)

Scar:
Mufasa's death is a terrible tragedy.
But to lose Simba too?
For me it is a deep personal lose.
So it is with a heavy heart
That I assume the throne.
Yet out of the ashes of this terrible
tradgedy, we shall rise to greet the
dawning of a new era
In which lion and hyena will come
together in a great, and glorious
Future!
Hyenas:
(Cheer)
All (except the hyena's and scar)
Hamela Hamela Hamela
Hyena's: Hem
Hamela ha ha
(repeat till the end of the song)
Hyena's:
Hem!
Hem!
Hem!
Hem!

PUMBAA: WHEN I WAS A YOUNG WARTHOG!

YOUNG SIMBA Any antelope?

TIMON No. YOUNG SIMBA Hippo?

TIMON Nuh-uh. Listen kid, if you’re gonna live with us, you gotta eat like us. Hey! This looks like a
good spot to rustle up some grub. (TIMON picks up a big grub.)

YOUNG SIMBA Ew. What’s that?

TIMON A grub. What’s it look like?

YOUNG SIMBA Ew. Gross. (TIMON pops the grub in his mouth. YOUNG SIMBA is disgusted.)

TIMON Tastes like chicken.

TIMON I’m tellin’ ya, kid – this is the great life. No rules, no responsibilities... And best of all, no
worries! (offers a bug to the reluctant cub) Well, kid? Enjoy.

YOUNG SIMBA (thinks a moment, then taking the plump grub, eating it and reacting) Okay, here

C&index=31 Accompnement music.

LIONESSES:
 Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela

NALA:
Shadowland
The leaves have fallen
This shadowed land
This was our home
The river's dry
The ground has broken
So I must go
Now I must go

And where the journey may lead me

Let your prayers be my guide
I cannot stay here, my family
But I'll remember my pride

LIONESSES:
Prideland

NALA:
I have no choice

LIONESSES:
My land

NALA:
I will find my way
Lea halalela

LIONESSES:
Tear-stained
Dry land
Take this

NALA:
Take this prayer

LIONESSES:
With you
 NALA:
What lies out there

LIONESSES:
Fatshe leso

NALA:
Lea halalela

LIONESSES:
And where the journey may lead you
Let this prayer be your guide
Though it may take you so far away
Always remember your pride

(RAFIKI prays over NALA)

ALL:
Fatshe leso lea halalela
Fatshe leso lea halalela

LIONESSES:
And where the journey may lead you

NALA:
And where the journey may lead me

LIONESSES:
Let this prayer be your guide

NALA:
Let their prayers be my guide

LIONESSES:
Though it may take you

NALA:
Though it may take me so far away

LIONESSES:
 So far away
Always remember your pride

NALA:
I'll remember my pride

LIONESSES:
And where the journey may lead you

NALA:
Ngiza buya bo, ngiza buya bo

12 Can You Feel the Love Tonight? lyrics

TIMON:
I can see what's happening

PUMBAA:
What?

TIMON:
And they don't have a clue

PUMBAA:
Who?

TIMON:
They'll fall in love
And here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two

PUMBAA:
Oh

TIMON:
The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air!

ENSEMBLE:
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things

SIMBA:
So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past, impossible
She'd turn away from me
 NALA:
He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is?
The king I see inside?

NALA, SIMBA:
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things

Can you feel the love tonight?

You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where we are

NALA:
And if he feels the love tonight
In the way I do

SIMBA:
It's enough for this restless wanderer

SIMBA, NALA:
Just to be with you

14 Luau Hawaiian Treat Please prepare the entire song for both.

Timon & Pumbaa: Do not be concerned with the harmony parts, we are just looking for the melody.
If you can sing the harmony for your callback that’s fine but not necessary. Please note that this is
NOT the same song you hear in the movie! The song is unique to The Lion King JR production.

Timon & Pumbaa: Are you tired of feeling beat Are you craving something to eat? Come forget your
troubles and sink your teeth into a Luau Hawaiian treat…

Hyenas: (spoken) Get ‘em!

Timon & Pumbaa: (spoken) Ahhh!!
