Posted: 3/30/06 at 11:03pmHow physical is this show? Do you think it will eventually be like Movin' Out, where people are out often, and they may even have alternate casts, or is it not physically demanding enough for that?

Back from preview #3.
Went smoothly, no stops, and there were a lot of changes. There is definitely cut dialogue, some of the visual effects have changed, different choreography, added lines, etc.
The show ran a lot smoother, made more sense, and just flowed nicely tonight. Still some stuff to work on (build a set!), learn how to get the opening set for Act 2 up faster so intermission isn't always 30 minutes.

Posted: 3/31/06 at 12:05amI'm having people do lotto for me tomorrow and saturday so hopefully somebody will get luck and I'll get to see the show. I'm REALLY interested in this and I'd really like to see the show progress with their changes!

Posted: 3/31/06 at 1:05amI'm sure there were tons of changes that I didn't notice (the cut parts), but there were a couple additions, such as a Tarzan look-a-like swinging across the stage right before the real Tarzan's entrance from the back of the Mezz, the gorilla dance towards the beginning of the first act looked different and I think ended differently, a few more gunshots than I remembered.

I keep reading about the severely obstructed views. I ordered my tickets just a few days after the tickets went on sale, and the best available was Orchestra Right, Row Q. Is my view going to be blocked?
I'm going May 26, and I can't wait. But now I'm getting slightly nervous.

Posted: 3/31/06 at 9:08amI'm not positive but I think when it's an obstructed view, it says it right on your tickets. If not, call the venue or ticket vendor and they will let you know.

I just tried to get some too and all they had was partial view to the right. However there is a thread that lists all the seats that are bad and I think rear 10 rows of orchestra is listed..

Posted: 3/31/06 at 2:08pmSomething else that was cut was Clayton's group of men, there was a rainstorm and they used to walk across the stage singing. That's out. Clayton complained about how it rained every day they were there, and Mr. Porter replied that it was a rainforest. That's cut too.

I should be fine then. My tickets don't say Obstructed View and I'm sitting a few rows ahead of Row T. Phew: Tarzan is the sole reason I'm going to New York in May. We're also seeing Wicked and Spamalot, but I don't have as much interest in them.
Thanks liotte!

Posted: 3/31/06 at 5:01pmWell, if anyone can't wait til they go themself, I put a signed playbill on ebay from the show. (am I allowed to promote that on here? I've never sold anything on ebay before)

Posted: 4/1/06 at 12:45amI just got back from tonight's show, my first viewing, and enjoyed it quite a bit. All I kept thinking about during the show is how the cast has to be in AMAZING physical shape to handle some of the choreography--I felt sore just watching them!!

Posted: 4/1/06 at 12:59amCan you give us more details about the show?
tarzan review! Preview #3#196
Posted: 4/1/06 at 1:10amI've never gone backstage to get autographs, but I'd like to for "Tarzan". Does anyone know how I would be able to do this?

Posted: 4/1/06 at 1:39amGo to the stagedoor after the show. Stand by the barricade with the other 200 people there. Hold out your playbill and a sharpie. When people come out the door, they go down the line and sign. It's not too hard.
