"Chicago is it's own incredible theater town right there smack down in the middle of the heartland. What a great city! I can see why Oprah likes to live there!" - Dee Hoty :-D
yeah he is hairy didn't expect that and that Dredlock wig did u take pics in the theatre that is so rude in the cartoon Tarzan has a smooth Body i quibble
Young Tarzan also wears a loin cloth and dreds, and a lot of dirt. He was fantastic, and was in for about half of the first act, and then for another number in the second towards the end.
Compared to Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Aida - how would you rank the shows (accepting the fact that this was a first preview)?
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Quick question: Would you prefer Row A or Row H if you were me? The question is based on all the speculation about "straining your neck" to look up if you were too forward!
I don't think you CAN rank them---just because they are Disney doesn't make them equal in other aspects. They are very different shows, they all have their pros and cons. I liked this a lot more than the BATB musical, whereas when it comes to the movies, I don't like Tarzan.
Honestly, I don't want to compare them until this opens, because I think there will be a lot of work to tighten it up and make some changes. Ask me on May 10th. :)
Well, in general I would say Row H (orchestra, right?). But I love sitting in the front row, and now that I have seen it once from mid orch, I will be doing the lotto a lot in the future.
And I hope Jenn gets a Tony nod (but if you know me, you know that I am quite biased towards anything to do with ASU). But I don't know and don't want to speculate until after I have seen Wedding Singer, Drowsy Chaperone, and Lestat. So give me a couple weeks on that one and I'll have them all covered.
Nominations----who knows?! That would be a total shot in the dark. I'll just say that the role of Jane doesn't warrant enough for lead actress (I love Jenn either way), but that I HOPE Josh gets nominated, you could tell he put his heart and soul into his work, and it absolutely paid off.
I agree with Jenn for featured role. The other parts might be too small for it....
The stage door wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, they had a barricade set up though- maybe 50-60 people. But everyone was nice about signing and pics.
They are selling posters, a few t-shirts, key chains, pencils with flags on the end, pre-order CD, a couple other things I think.
well the Bob Marley hair for One and the goofy grin which is kinda cute but the loin cloth is too low for his body type They all look glad to finally get to be in front of an audience Gotta be hard work
Thanks for the review and have a good night! Well Disney...spectaculars...special effects...pretty much synonymous. I'm not surprised! LOL! I'm interested in seeing all this "cirque du soleil" such in action on the stage though. :)
So besides the acrobatic tricks, are there any emotional/heart-tugging moments in the show that standout, in your opinion?
