This was fantastic for something done in only two hours, and just amazing in general. I felt like he didn't quite get Scar's wit right though. Scar's evil and insane, but he's calm. He's very quiet and contemplative, only breaking out in full rage at the most extreme of times. I feel like the guy who played Scar kinda overplayed his boisterousness and stepped over his psychotic cunning.

[@heygus20]

100% agree. I would love to try it again some day.

[@sythlorde]

awesome !Great rehearsal, I would see this performed anywhere, you guys are doing great things up there in ottawa! Put a smile on my face, thanks for the post.

[@samichettouhi]

He's not found the character completely, scar is shown to be more composed and smooth until the final chorus in comparison to always being furious

[@heygus20]

Very true. My issue with performing scar here was this: we only had I think 2 or 3 hours to rehearse this scene, i felt I had to sing loud rather than controlled over the other sounds, and I didn't do the research I had needed. But the point of the club at the time was exactly that: Broadway off Broadway, rehearsing random scenes with random people, and having an amazing time. :) Thanks so much for the constructive criticism, and for taking the time to watch!

[@brandongonsalves9883]

No offense but scar had waaaaay to much yelling. I'm scar for the lion king jr. Broadway production and as scar, I use a little insanity as well but also keep it down a bit with the character's more suave and elegant delight and texture. He's extremely psychotic, though he keeps it in until the end of the song. Allow his insanity to spark at some points, such as "Just listen to teacher!" or "IDIOTS!" then back off and go back to the evil yet elegant scar. Use these notes and you shall be a wonderful scar indeed! Good luck!

[@heygus20]

Agreed. I was much too boisterous back in 2011. But it was all for fun and I wanted to try something a little different. I hope your show went well! :)

[@erinclark4803]

The lion king jr. was never on Broadway

[@zeneve1496]

I totally get you but i see where this guy is coming from. Making it more of the movies character is different than making it the broadway character what I mean is that it needs energy and clearly scar doesn’t always have that

[@christosstan94]

Yo this scar is dope! I know he doesn’t do the flamboyant thing, but it’s amazing seeing his own take and the anger in his voice!

[@Pinkiefangs]

i was at a lion king play where we managed to put the whole think together in two weeks, with a cast of 70 kids. The play actually turned out decent! (in case you're wondering, i was rafiki :D)

[@archsbway]

Doing lion king at my school just waiting for parts to be assigned!!! This song is my fave!!!

[@jonedwards5953]

Did you get anything?

[@archsbway]

Jon Edwards, yes I just got an ensemble part though as one of the animals and I just found out recently that I was going to be playing an ostrich 😆

[@akoninn]

The Lion King Musical at my school uses a similar choreography as this one! I know this because I'm a hyena. Now I know where my musical teacher got the choreos.

[@milapilla6756]

hey me too! I have to be shenzi, who were you?

[@i3piggies123]

This was fantastic, I can't believe I actually clapped at the end of this video.

[@LydiaPeterMartinHale]

This is fuckin awesome! Great job, amazing actors 😍 The guy who played Scar is very very talented. God I wish I see this live

[@elinadragomirescu6449]

🤣🤣🤣

[@beverlywhatisthenameofthem98]

Scar sounds like gallaxhar from monsters vs aliens

[@nikkirose9641]

Not to be rude but its "and injustice deliscously squared" not "and my teeth and ambitions are bared"

[@sonnshinebread8894]

+Nicole Outten *Coughs*Stupid*Coughs*

[@Pollyisabella]

Both of those lyrics are in the song ??😂😂

[@EyalItsik]

Yes, he sings (shouts?) the wrong line

[@freyaguppy]

I'm in this play and in our script, the line is "yes our teeth and ambitions are bared, be prepared!"

[@heygus20]

You weren't being rude! I completely mangled the lines. If you look and listen closely I just say the first line again because I needed *something* haha. If only I had had more than 2 hours. ;)

[@BTS-yo7uv]

Good

[@elinadragomirescu6449]

Woow!

[@josefj2609]

I missed the sarcasm in Scar...

[@frenchhorn100]

This is the best video I have ever seen. Props to the guy who is scar, should be on NY broadway.

[@XxKyriinxX]

Dude.... Ever hear of over doing it.... that was it Just thought you should know. helpful criticism, dull it down a bit!

[@heygus20]

Very fair, and a bit true. But I was having fun with it. ;)

[@samk9729]

Absolutely fantastic 👏👏👏👏

[@Davies46]

i feel like scar needs to be more flamboyant.

[@TheMelodycalls]

You think it'd be okay if we did this for competition with a lady Scar?

[@justmenadude8697]

TheMelodycalls I'm the female version of Scar in my yr6 play

[@yezen6889]

[@dubbam9187]
