*on a Documentary*
After the residents of the Great Valley discover theater, their attempts to recreate many smash hits...didn't go over so well. Such as here, The Lion King, starring Petrie as Simba. It...didn't go over well when Pterano refused to play the part of Scar, preferring the sophisticated role of Mufasa...until he learned about THAT scene.
However, the GREATEST success was "Wicked"...Starring
Ducky as Elphaba
Cera as G(a)linda
Petrie as Fierro
Littlefoot as Boq
Ruby as NessaRose
The male Rainbow Face as Doctor Dillamond
Tria as Madam Morrible (lol)
Pterano as The Wizard (lol, imagine THAT song sequence!)
And introducing SPIKE as CHISTRY
But then that fell apart when Spike waddled on stage and ate the set during the epic "Defying Gravity" sequence of the third performance that season.
After that, they decided to go back to The Lion King...again with Petrie as Simba...again with Ducky as Nala (lol), again with Tippy as Pumbaa. But now, there's a slightly different stretch.
SIERRA as Scar
The Purple Judge During the Great Day of the Fliers as Mufassa
...
And Pterano as the ever-wise Rafiki (He actually had fun with that role)
But what ever happened during the FIRST production of The Lion King? Well, it was unsuccessful, with a "dead" character refusing to be on stage after his "death" scene and worst of all, Spike ate most of the pictures. This is one of the few pictures of the original productions that is still available, when Petrie's mother was Rafi--

Was that too much caption?
