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.

Back when Scar was Taka, he betrayed Mufasa in one of the worst ways possible. Rather than forgive him, Mufasa sealed their tragic Lion King fate.

SEQUIM — “Lion King Jr.,” staged by Ghostlight Productions, will open Friday with performances at 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and matinee performances at 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through July 27.
