2022 has marked a momentous year for the musical phenomenon that is The Lion King. The New York production – the third longest-running show in Broadway history after The Phantom of the Opera and Chicago – celebrated its 25th anniversary last month!
To commemorate this milestone achievement, we decided to dedicate a special edition of our "West End vs. Broadway" series to the Disney favorite and reached out to two veterans, who are longtime members of The Lion King family, portraying the mighty Mufasa.
London's Shaun Escoffery and New York's L. Steven Taylor sat down together for TheaterMania and our sibling site WhatsOnStage to ask each other three burning questions and look back on their years ruling the Pridelands.
