Tarzan Review! — Page 6

I just read on Playbill.com that the cut off date for shows to open will be MAy 10th for the Tony's. That is literally the night Tarzan opens.

First of all: wow, crazy picture arguing. Illegal? Yes. But so is dowloading music, and honestly, who HASN'T done that? While the posting of them in a public forum is another matter (bad idea), honestly if you're not using a flash and not bothering anyone or being really obvious about it, nobody really cares. A lot of actors don't care, and (though they have to say something if someone says something to them) the ushers don't care much either.

But about the original topic of the thread: thanks for the review! I tried lotto today but lost. I'm going to try next weekend (maybe Thursday). Can't wait to see it for myself.

haha, well it looks like you liked it enough to see it 3 more times huh liotte? I have a ticket for April 15. I'm REALLY excited but hopefully i'll get to see it via lotto before that.

well if you'll be alone and happen to win i'd totally go with you. I know i'm just some random person but I'm dying to see the show and i promise i dont talk during shows! lol.

Me2, I always have a ton of people with me (usually kids), but maybe during the summer!

And nomdeplume, we are over that discussion. Let it be.

Be aware most good seats gone for weekends during previews

I am eagerly waiting reports from tonight's show!

so liotte, the harnesses aren't as visible as the press release suggested right? since for a horrible second in there i was picturing harnesses outside the costumes that were blatantly obvious.

I saw the show tonight. There were a few technical glitches- the curtain came down for about 10 minutes during Act 1 because the flying leopard's cord got stuck behind a vine cord. The producer came up onstage and said it'd be a few minutes and asked the conductor to play something, and the conductor played Elaborate Lives from Aida. In Act 2, two sheets are supposed to come down so that the set could be changed, but only one came down and the other got stuck, so the stagehands were visible changing the set.

None of that made me like the show less, though. I thought it was really, really great. It could use a little work here and there, but it was only the second preview. I was really impressed with pretty much the entire cast, especially Jenn, Josh, Merle and Chester. Their voices all sounded amazing. And I really enjoyed the show itself. The flying and other effects were awesome, and I loved the familiar songs from the movie, and thought the added songs were good too.

Glad you liked the show! I wonder what changed from yesterday to today, if anything. And what will be changed for next week.

Jim Abbott was the conductor. And it was just Jim playing the piano, it wasn't the whole orchestra, so I guess he just has it memorized...maybe he conducted Aida at some point.

I was thinking more along the lines of something "Disney-ish", but yes.
