Kansas City, Missouri – Disney Theatrical Productions visited Kansas City recently to eyeball local talent. The New York based company was holding auditions for its various productions of The Lion King, both the Broadway hit and its national tours. As KCUR's Steve Walker reports, the audition drew dozens of pre-teens ready for their close-ups.
