Disney's Tarzan

About the Show - Disney's Tarzan the Stage Musical is based on Disney's epic 1999 animated film, with show-stopping music by rock legend, Phil Collins and special guest artists Nsync. When an infant boy is lost in the jungle, a mother ape decides to take him in and raise him as her own. Tarzan learns to think, act, move and speak like a gorilla, while seeking acceptance from his father - who can only see Tarzan as a potential threat to the animal family. When Jane (a young explorer) and her father arrive in the jungle, Tarzan is faced with seeing himself as he really is, learning what the word "family" truly means, and deciding which path he must take towards his future.

Disney's Tarzan runs approx. 2 hours mins in length, with a 15 minute intermission, and is most enjoyed by audiences age 5 and up.
