“Charlie Kahler and Kalandra Rhodes were positively adorable as Young Simba and Young Nala respectively” “The audience could feel the emotional connection between young Simba, played by Jordan Pendleton, and Mufasa, played by Gerald Ramsey.” His exuberance in “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” and eager dancing in “Hakuna Matata” were both a pleasure to watch.” Hunter has magnetism to spare, and he easily carried the first act on his young shoulders. “Jaylen Lyndon Hunter was a treat as Young Simba.

“… Hunter, who played young Simba on opening night, has professional level skills, an easy and natural manner, and spot-on timing.” Both did an excellent job bringing these youthful cubs to life on stage.” There is simply nothing else like THE LION KING.“I have to give a special shout-out to Jackson Hayes and Jaxyn Demasco, who played Young Simba and Young Nala at the performance I attended.
