That version would more than likely be tailored after the hit Norwegian version and might be the traveling stage concept first planned for this show. Only time will tell I suppose, but creating a Cirque du Solei-esque version of Tarzan seems the logical spin on this movie, what with all the acrobatic stunts available in respect to the vines and stuff of the scenery.

Der Glockner von Notre Dame (as it was known in Berlin) was actually very successful and played for 3 years through 99-02. The musical, however, was much more mature than the movie it was based on (Esmerelda dies, Quasimodo kills Frollo), and Disney knew that it wouldn't fly with the American crowd used to the Disney style. Plus the theater that housed the production had to be custom built, and building a new one or renovating an old one in New York would be very costly. Anyways, that musical was not a flop, just one that has so far never made it to the states.
