As fun as that was, I would like to bring this thread back on track. Tarzan is the worst show I have ever seen. There, I said it.

Not sockpuppet, you cannot refute it. MIXED REVIEWS. NOT PANS. If you doubt me, go look up some in the NYPL. Quit generating hate.

Disney may not be Eugene O'Niell, but actors, musicans, and techies are being employed and the future of theatre is ensured with all those parents taking all those kids to see the shows. YOU may not like what they produce, but can YOU do any BETTER?

You may NOT refute it.

Oh please. McDonald's hires thousands of people, and it certainly doent ensure the future of haute cuisine. Frankly, that argument is silly. Does employment in a mediocre, third-rate show mean anything beyond a paycheque? Probably not. I imagine everyone involved will delicately remove it from their resume as soon as possible.

Your guys hatred for Disney makes you extremley immature. It didnt get "panned by every critic", that would be Pirate Queen. If you hate Disney on Broadway thats fine but don't make up lies. Do a search for the thread of reviews given for Tarzan, it is a pure fact that there was a few postive reviews wich would rank it in the "Mixed to Negative" category. Pirate Queen got the worst reviews for a show I have seen in a really long time and many of you try to stick up for that. If you hate Disney on Broadway fine, but dont let that block your mind from seeing facts. Even in the "Pirate Queen Review Thread" someone said that at least Tarzan got recognized for its appeal to families. Look back, there were positives. ::Rant Over::

"YOU may not like what they produce, but can YOU do any BETTER?"

Oh god, I hate it when people say "Well, can YOU do better?" No said they can do better. We're saying the show got crappy reviews, and it did. If you like the show, fine, but don't give us this same old tired, "excuse".

I mearly meant something along the lines of...

"Let he without sin cast the first stone."

If someone does nothing to make the world a better place, they should not begrudge those who try, even if they don't always succeed.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but c'mon folks, let's be fair. We are, after all, humans. Not animals.

Well, the Disney shows are mostly animals.

SeanMartin, why do you always use McDonalds as an example? Are you obsessed with eating their food?

Oy. This is the stupidest, most illogical argument I have seen on this board and I hate that it keeps coming up as some kind of an excuse. That kind of statement makes even the people who agree with you about a show think you are an idiot.

Now i'll bring this thread to a nice conclusion, it doesn't matter what the negative critics think, its what the people think! THE END!

If I could close ANY show on Broadway right now, it'd be Tarzan (and Phantom, but at least that's pretty well staged).
Tarzan is an atrocity of a musical with a banal, STUPID score, a witless, emotionless book, carboard cutouts of cast members and appallingly bad direction and design. The critics savaged it and rightfully so.

Oooo, the sheer viciousness of the responses! I am SOOOOOOOOOOO hurt.

Get a life, folks. TARZAN is a piece of BS that should be an embarrassment to the Disney name. Instead, it's making just lots and lots of money, and I say bravo for that. If it cons money out of nimrods like the fanboy shills on this board, then huzzah and hurray for showing them to be the fools they truly are.
