Current Cast of The Lion King?

Posted: 11/24/06 at 1:34pm

I was wondering if anyone who has seen The Lion King recently could post or PM me the current cast? I hate how all of the websites I look at tell me that Patrick Page (Grinch) is playing Scar, and Alton Fitzgerald White (The Color Purple) is playing Mufasa.

Derek Smith (surprise, surprise) is back as Scar. I assume he'll do it until Patrick Page is finished with The Grinch and is ready to return.

I'm not sure about Mufasa.

Who plays Timon? How similar is the characterization of Timon from the show to the movie? What's the costume look like? I'd like to audition for the Lion King, they're having an open call in Orlando, so I'm curious.

I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

I work at Lion King selling merchandise and the current cast is good. I will have to get a program to see who is playing. I know Josh Towers is Simba and he is good. Also the original Pumbaa is still on he is great as always. The Rafeke(sp?) is wonderful she is awesome!

He hasn't been there every year. I saw him in LA and/or the tour a while back.

Josh Towers and Kissy Simmons are excellent. Best pair Ive seen in the role. Kissy has been there for around 3 years. And Josh for 2+ As long as they are willing to stay they are more then welcome to in my book. After the show Josh is so nice at the stage door. He talks to all the kids and takes pictures. Once I was there and a kid kept asking where the monkey was. The kid must of asked around 15 times, so Josh went back in and came out 5 mins later with the person who had played the monkey.

"Have they come yet?"
