Did it really? if so, why? I hear from other people its supposed to be great.
It didn't get mixed reviews, it got terrible reviews.
Go away.
Do YOU like Tarzan, Rentroxmysox29?
If you do, it doesn't matter what the critics say. Or anyone else on the boards.
Exactly. The reviews weren't mixed -- they were HORRIBLE! It was critically panned by every critic. The show has had mediocre attendance since it started performances on Broadway, and it is also the FIRST Disney show to have tickets available at TKTS for half-price since day one, something none of the other Disney shows had during their early runs.
thanks, istill!
i happen to love tarzan and am sick of people saying it's a terrible show, especially when they haven't even seen it or only know someone who's seen it. to each his own, right?

Yes, Tarzan got mixed reviews. No matter what anyone says. No matter how many bitter folk WISH it got trashed, it did not. Yes, there were some nay sayers, and I will be the first to admit it's anything but perfect, there have been some MUCH more AWFUL stuff on the boards.
Like it or not, this is the truth. You may not refute it.

I went into that show not wanting to see it and already hating it. And we all know what happens once we have a preconcieved notion about a show. But about half-way through I couldn't make myself hate the show anymore. I was having a blast and so was everyone else around me. I hope Tarzan sticks around for quite some time and that it finally finds its audience.

Ha ha ha ha.
You are a riot, Rentroxmysox29. Good way to find out who are the Disney plants on the board, if any. And good point about some claiming the reviews were "mixed" which they were not.
Pay no attention to Rath being an unelected hall monitor, it's just an unsuppressable compulsion.
It was a real crowdpleaser! If you don't go in expecting Beauty, Lion King or Sondheim and just enjoy the spectacle, you'll like it. I was in the front row on the aisle and had a blast! Being that close to Josh Strickland made it more exciting as well.
The show got bashed by every paper. It is not even turning a profiit and most of the people that go are tourists who associate disney wiith good. Looking at disey's track record with theatre I can see why they would say that but Tarzan unfortunatly should close. It ain't making any money for disney.

Thats what I heard winston89, some people say that Beauty and the Beast should stay and Tarzan should go.
