For the most part no... It wasn't until Zazu informed Scar that having a faithful queen was one of the many reasons why Mufasa was better as king than Scar. It was then that Scar decided that, for the sake of becoming immortal, he should fine the perfect lioness to use to produce a "host of little Scars". That lioness was Nala, not Sarabi. And Scar's attempts to "woo" her made her finally decide to run off and find help in removing Scar. I am using the Broadway musical as the source, and considering the script for that was written by Roger Allers, the director of The Lion King, I think it is safe to say that the musical is completely canon.[/quote]
Concerning the Broadway musical, do keep in mind, the musical was written in coordination of Julie Taymor's vision of The Lion King. I wouldn't say Rafiki being written as a female character is strictly canon.
