Act II Īt the end of Act II, Simba's friends and family acknowledge him as the rightful king after Simba and the Pridelanders defeated Scar and the hyenas. As the choir chants excitedly in the background, Rafiki accompanies them atop Pride Rock to bless the baby prince before raising him high in the air, singing joyfully alongside the chorus as the gathered animals bow before their new prince. As the first two verses of the musical number end, a representation of Pride Rock appears onstage carrying its two reigning rulers, Queen Sarabi cradling the small puppet representing her newborn cub in her arms. With the sun rising over the Pride Lands, Rafiki commences the start of the production by beginning the opening chant of the song and summoning the various animals of the surrounding area for baby Simba's presentation. For example, the song is sung by the Rafiki character instead of an off-screen narrator.
In the theatrical adaption, the opening sequence is noticeably different from the opening of the film. Rafiki lifts Simba into the air with Mufasa and Sarabi looking on, in the original London version of the Lion Kingmusical.=Act I=
