Posted: 12/27/06 at 11:58amI for one am appalled by the immaturity in this thread. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinions, but no one has the right to tell others that they are wrong for liking something. Tarzan happens to be my favorite show and I am certainly old enough to distinguish "good" from "bad". There will never be a universal "good" standard for the theatre because everyone has different tastes. I think everything about Tarzan is wonderful, others don't feel the same and that's okay--and as for the harnesses, what is more important here: safety or vanity? Hopefully you will all agree in that the cast's safety comes first.

Good one TWSFAN4EVER.
And Belle, if they can make Mary Poppins fly without the harnesses being THAT obvious, I think they can make the apes fly from vine to vine without it being such an eye sore. I understand it was a creative decision, I just think it was a miss.

Posted: 12/28/06 at 10:04pmI think Mary Poppins' harness is hidden much more so because she has more of a costume. With nothing but a loincloth, hiding a harness becomes more of a problem.

Posted: 12/28/06 at 10:40pmHow could one show be so awful? Easy. Hire a guy who doesn't know how to write a Broadway score (let along how to rhyme or compose a memorable tune) tell a talented designer to make his work look tacky, hire a Cher impersonator as the lead and let someone who made Flower Drum Song worse write the book.

"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer

I don't know, but how could 59 million people be so dumb?
