''Tarzan: The Musical'' is based on the Disney film of the same name, which is, in turn, adapted from the 1914 novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The songs are written by Phil Collins with a book by David Henry Hwang. The musical mostly follows the plot of the Disney film: Tarzan is raised by gorillas, meets Jane, a young English naturalist, and falls in love. Jane's entourage plans to kill the gorillas, and Tarzan's loyalties are tested. The original Broadway production opened in 2006, directed and designed by Bob Crowley with choreography by Meryl Tankard. The production ran for 35 previews and 486 performances. Subsequently, the show has been staged in several foreign countries and by regional theatres. ==Production== A workshop was held in 2004, with Daniel Manche as the Child Tarzan, Matthew Morrison as the Adult Tarzan, Adam Pascal as Tarzan Storyteller and Laura Bell Bundy as Jane.〔Gans, Andrew.(Disney's Tarzan Musical Aiming for 2005-2006 Broadway Bow" ) Playbill.com, May 12, 2005〕 The musical began previews on Broadway on March 24, 2006, and officially opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on May 10,〔Brantley, Ben.("'Tarzan' Arrives on Broadway, Airborne" )''The New York Times'', May 11, 2006〕 making it the only Disney Theatrical production without an out-of-town tryout.
