On 10th May Tarzan, the musical will go live on Broadway in the Richard Rodgers Theater. Another big Disney hit becomes a Disney Theatrical production.
I remember going to New York, for business, trying to get tickets for the Lion King. “There will be tickets available in 6 months” was the answer. I guess Tarzan might also sell out for months.
There used to be a time, in the not-too-recent past, when queuing for an attraction was almost as much fun as the attraction itself. Shows like Muppetvision 3-D, the (original) Backlot Tour (both at Disney-MGM Studios) and the incomparable Star Tours ride made passing the time in the l-o-n-g lines they generated kind of fun. And then came the Walt Disney Studios to put a stop to all that. If anyone can glean the slightest bit of enjoyment standing outside Armageddon, Cinemagique, the Art of Animation or Animagique, they must be performing mental gymnatics of the imagination to keep themselves awake, let alone amused.
