The North American touring production of Disney’s The Lion King is back at the Pantages for a nearly two-month run through March 26th, and it’s easy to see why it has been a Broadway and international musical juggernaut since 1997. From February 21st until the end of the Pantages Theatre run on March 26th, the role of Rafiki will be played by Mukelisiwe Goba. Additionally, Rafiki was portrayed by Gugwana Dlamini, who will continue in this role through February 19th. These roles are shared with Jordan Pendleton and Farrah Wilson, respectively. The following review is based on the Saturday, February 4th evening performance when the role of Young Simba was played by Jaylen Lyndon Hunter and Young Nala was played by Scarlett London Diviney.
