An outstanding musical based on the Disney movie with music by Phil Collins. A must see show for all the family.

Based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic tale and the animated Disney film, Tarzan the Musical follows the journey of a young boy orphaned on the West African coast, raised by a family of gorillas after his parents’ tragic death. As Tarzan grows, he grapples with his identity, torn between the world of the apes and the arrival of humans, particularly Jane Porter, a curious and kind-hearted English explorer. Their worlds collide, sparking romance, adventure, and questions of belonging.

The musical explores Tarzan’s quest for acceptance and love, as he confronts the fierce leader Kerchak, befriends the cheeky ape Terk, and ultimately finds his place within two very different families. Phil Collins’ energetic and emotive score brings jungle life to the stage, with memorable songs like 'You’ll Be In My Heart' and 'Son of Man'.

The production is a heartfelt celebration of courage, self-discovery, and the bonds that unite us, blending breathtaking choreography and acrobatics with a powerful message about embracing diversity and forging one’s own path.
