Booing means they enjoyed him as a villain! He's playing the bad guy, and the audience boo him because he was good at it. When I went a few days ago, we all booed Scar when he took his bow, but we were clapping at the same time. It's a sort of panto thing, I think - the audience is acknowledging that he was a villain, but also that he was a good actor in that. And he knows that that is what the booing means. So it's not actually an insult!

I recently attended the London performance. George was a wonderful villain and yes he was booed by some in the audience. I noticed he smiled a small satisfied smile to himself as he knew he did a good job as Scar. If you ever get a chance to see the show, do go. It was fantastic, all the actors were amazing and the show was a highlight of our visit to the UK. Thanks, George! You were awesome.

"I've got some children to scare." XD

Be Prepared!! This musical is great :D Scar is the best villain.

a boo is the best compliment for an actor who plays the bad guy ;) means he had done his job great :) we boo at Clayton in Disney´s Tarzan (currently in Hamburg/Germany) as well ;) and he loves it ^^

I have been blessed enough to see this show including both in NYC and the West End. I have seen it all over the place here in the US including once with Garth Fagan in the audience. I fall in love with show even more each time I see it and looking forward to my 16th show this spring.

I've Been To See Disney's The Lion King At London's Lyceum Theatre 7 Times And It Was Awesome. It Was The Longest Running Disney Musical In London's West End. Thanks Mate. X

I never would have guessed it was mechanical. I always thought it was a weight mechanism. Brilliant.

i loved scar's movements in the play its like he lets the mask control him not the other way around :)

I saw the show on Wednesday and my mind was blow, he is absolutely brilliant! We had a group of children in the audience, not far from us and I felt so bad when they booed him, but it seems that he's used to it :') I cheered extra hard tho, he deserves it!

Villains are way better then bad guys. Their stories are more complex and they could have thousands of reasons behind their actions.

Ill be on broadway one day!! woot lol

my school is doing lion king Jr and I'm scar and my makeup is going to look like this

I think it's really rude of people boo when he's bowing. Every actor deserves a big round of applause when they're doing their bows. Surely the audience is able to understand that he's just acting the role of the bad guy.

Depends on point of view. If you boo him while he's playing, it's rude, because you should shut your mouth during the performance, but it would be directed to the character. However, at the end when they bow, he is out of character, so with booing/clapping you don't "judge" the character, you do so with the actor, the performance itself.

Even though Aladdin is on broadway my friend said abu , Iago and rajah weren’t in it but they should have put them in it by using these sort of puppets

I wish The Lion King Broadway will it be in the movie

I'd get worry about him getting sick in that costume. I hope maybe the material can be switched out for lighting things someday. I'm sure improvements will be made more.

Just went yesterday

OMG I had no idea the makeup for my role of Scar was exactly like Broadway

Technically he has the most stage time, because the actors for Mufasa and young Simba only shows up at the first half and adult Simba, Timon and Pumbaa is only there for the second half.

Nice:)
