He is going to be so friggin hot! Half naked the entire show with only a flimsy piece of cloth to cover his....well, you can fill in the rest! How do you think the show will do?

Adam was in a workshop of Tarzan once as the narrator...however, after the reading, the show was reworked a bit and the narrator is no longer in the show...

If Adam were to be Tarzan...well, me Jane.
Just imagine the chest waxing pain every 2-3-4 weeks. OUCH!
I think things have already pretty much been set straight, haven't they?
Sometimes, I think he waxes anyway.
But that's another story!
The deal was that a few years ago, in a workshop, they had someone singing a lot of the music because Tarzan obviously had a language barrier. He was 'the storyteller' or something. This was the workshop with Matt Morrison as Tarzan... and I think Kerry Butler as Jane? But, yeah. The part no longer exists.
i totally almost cried, until i realized "hello, they didn't make any cast changes this late..."
thank you for the wake up though
new york, ny
in an announcement sure to shock the theatre crowd, disney announced today that they were parting ways with the announced star of their blockbuster musical tarzan.
according to newly hired co-producer dede harris, "little mr. 'i'm too good to go down' strickland will not be wearing a loincloth at the rodgers anytime soon!"
disney's imagineers have been called in to take part in what may be the most avant garde and risky decision in broadway history. the part of tarzan, it has been announced, will be played by soon to be 85 year old barney miller and joe vs. the volcano actor abe vigoda.
vigoda was last seen on broadway in 1967's smash hit, the persecution and assassination of jean-paul marat as performed by the inmates of the asylum of charenton under the direction of the marquis de sade where he played "mad animal."
a spokesperson for disney when reached for comment about the cast change burst into tears and lit a cigarette. mr. vigoda was said to be entused about the opportunity, "i can't wait to try on that damn loincloth!"
veteran broadway insiders are split over the decision with one cagey press agent quoted as saying, "no one knows how to put blue hair in the theatre like disney."
however, our souce admitted that the strategy could indeed backfire, "let's face it, he's gonna be 85 tomorrow and they've got him swinging over the audience? he strokes out and they are sh*t outta luck."
sales have reported been off the charts after the announcement with one person suggesting that, "this could be sold out until 2020 at which point mr. vigoda will be 99. can you imagine the hype if they can have him swinging around the rodgers on his 100th birthday? fuhgeddaboudit."
oh papa, you're lucky i like you
I heard there still is a narrator and Tarzan does not speak
Only sing,
Good for Abe!
Tarzan speaks and sings.

Adam as Tarzan would be too good to be true. It'd make me actually WANT to see the show.
"Half naked the entire show with only a flimsy piece of cloth to cover his....well, you can fill in the rest!"
I think I'd run on stage and jump him.
just wondering...which adam are you referring to?
