I'd be interested to see the positive reviews but if you want to see it...than go so see it. Don't let others opinion stop you. Go and enjoy yourself!

Actually the reviews (from the major papers) were mixed-to-negative mostly:

I liked the show. It's not Shakespeare, but it makes for a nice time.

I was mostly teasing you, because of that underline of yours. I have never seen Sweeney Todd but it seems to be held very high by the real musical enthusiasts, which is probably warranted. However as far as i know it doesn't contain a hit song like tarzan's You'll be in my heart. Not that musicals is all about hit songs, but i guess that Sweeneys strength is the story, the lyrics and the complexity of the music and not that it contains a lot of hit songs.

May i ask how many times have you seen the show, or do you take part?

Half of the show’s dialogue consists of ape calls and you're comparing it to Shakespeare!? A 2-year-olds speech would be a more realistic comparison…

Was that for me, because I said I liked the show?

Did we see the same show?

Its a fun family show.. the book, is a little lacking (not cuz of monkey calls) but its a good time.. if you wnat to have a good time you will.. If your a credic.. you'll be one no matter what you see.. but just make your own choices about shows or anything in life don't listen to everyone elses. I enjoy it, I've seen it 2 times once in previews and once after opening.

"Dude- He's Sweedish. Give him a break."

Haha, aw!

I have no interest in seeing Tarzan. Strickland looks more like the Queen of the jungle, and I'm not too fond of the cast recording.

I however do love Sweeney Todd. I've seen it twice, and I think it's brilliant.

Sweeney Todd and Tarzan should never be mentioned in the same thread. :P I also love Sweeney, and "Not While I'm Around" is a very popular hit in the Broadway world.

Tarzan isn't the best show out there, but it is enjoyable and the technical aspects are really impressive. I wouldn't pay over $45 for it, but if you get rush or something cheap it would probably give you that much enjoyment.
Don't let people on this board prevent you from seeing shows just because they bad mouth it

I didn't want to start another thread so I have question. What time would you have to get to the box office for student rush on a Friday Night?

Is a show all about creating hit songs, or making people think?

Because, I have to say, the ape calls of Tarzan really made me think.
