Canadian-born David D’Lancy Wilson is nearly one year into his run as Mufasa in THE LION KING. Next week, Pride Rock comes roaring into Montreal and Wilson is coming home to Canada. I had the opportunity to chat with Wilson about his life, career, and the experience of wearing the mask of one of musical theatre’s most iconic fathers. For Wilson, however, Mufasa is more than a king, warrior, husband and protector. At his core, he says, “he is just a parent trying to do right and best for their child.” As a father of two young boys himself, that perspective carries particular weight. THE LION KING takes the stage at Salle Wilfred-Pelletier, Places des Arts, 175 Rue Sainte-Catherine O, Montréal, QC H2X 1Y9 from August 19 - September 6, 2026.

“A raw, riveting journey through the foster care system, surviving assault, and the road to sobriety—told with sharp wit and unapologetic truth from a liberal, lesbian lens. You will laugh, cry and get up and cheer as Renée gives you everything she's got.' “The stage is where I make an offering of everything I’ve survived—the wreckage, the laughter, and the life I built afterward. But somewhere along the way, I realized CROSSROADS was asking me to carry it beyond the stage, into the rooms and communities where these conversations belong. Fiscal sponsorship gives the work a road to travel. And when you buy a ticket to this run, you’re not just coming to see a show—you’re helping me build that road while I’m still walking it.” ~ Renée Santos
