Mufasa explains many details of Scar's backstory before The Lion King, but one key aspect is surprisingly left out of Taka's story in the prequel.

The Lion King will welcome two-time Tony Award nominee Gavin Lee to the company as Scar beginning in July. Learn more about how to get tickets to the show here!
