I haven't seen it yet but I'm planning to this summer. I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of the soundtrack from my coworker at UMGD and it's getting me even more excited to go see it live! Phil Collins did a great job on the music and lyrics, the songs are sooo beautiful. Paired with the live stage production, I can't even imagine how great it is! I've been checking out www.tarzanthemusical.com and the cast seems pretty promising. Anyone seen it already or heard the songs?

Just saw the show yesterday and the music seemed really weak. The actors and actresses had great voices and the orchestrations were good enough, but the songs just felt boring... nothing overly memorable other than the two songs from the movie and I enjoyed "Different" somewhat more than the rest of the show. It definitely got better towards the end, though, but it just felt poorly put together.

I agree the cast recording is amazing. Phil Collins wrote some great additional songs from the Disney Movie.

I have the OBCR which is pretty good. My favorite songs on it are the original ones from the movie. I don't like any of the new songs, except for "Different" and "For the First Time". Although sometimes in FTFT I actually cringe and Tarzan's voice, no jokes.

I think Disney on Broadway's time is just about up (although I really enjoyed the OLCR for Mary Poppins).

I thought the cast was brilliant. Even though the musical was very simple... like how they let all the wires and harnesses show and kept a basic set... I loved it. It sounds silly.. but I was amazed watching all the monkeys that were constantly swinging around the stage. What can I say? I'm a kid at heart and I love the movie.
The music is amazing... but I'd have to say Different and Strangers Like Me are my favorite songs.

I thought Disney could have done better. But I loved the music.

I loved "Who better than me"

had it stuck in my head for days after I saw the show.

and I can't remember the name of it, but I liked the song between Kala and Kerchak.

All the music from the movie was still just as amazing as I remember. "Son of man", "Two Worlds", "Strangers like me" were all great. Everyone's voices were really great IMO.

Who Better Than Me was one of my favorites too. I loved all the songs though, especially Son of Man and Trashin' the Camp. However, does anyone else think that Josh Strickland (Tarzan on the cd and in the show) sound a tad too feminine. When I first got the cd, I wasn't paying attention to who was singing at the time, and I thought Tarzan was actually Jane during Different. I don't know. I honestly think Tarzan's understudy (Kevin Massey, who I saw when i went to New York) is much better. Oh well

When I listened to the soundtrack I didn't like the music, but to me it sounded better live. A lot better. Like I really liked the music when I saw the show! I like some of the new songs a lot more than the old ones such as "Who Better Than Me" and I also enjoyed young tarzan's song as well as jane and tarzan's duet...and the surprising one was jane's solo at end of act one or the beginning of act two- I actually loathed the song when I heard the cast recording...but when I saw it onstage it sounded different I don't even know why. It was more enjoyable. I think they brought up some of the tempos or something?
