Tallmadge, OH, United States
ID: 284733Exp: 5/20/2025
Description:

Looking for performers for the "Tarzan" play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Based on Disney's epic animated musical adventure and Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan of the Apes, Tarzan features heart-pumping music by rock legend, Phil Collins, and a book by Tony Award-winning playwright, David Henry Hwang. High-flying excitement and hits, like the Academy Award winning "You'll Be in My Heart," as well as "Son of Man" and "Two Worlds," make Tarzan an unforgettable theatrical experience. Washed up on the shores of West Africa, an infant boy is taken in and raised by gorillas who name him Tarzan. Apart from striving for acceptance from his ape father, Tarzan's life is mostly monkey business until a human expedition treks into his tribe's territory, and he encounters creatures like himself for the first time. Tarzan struggles to navigate a jungle, thick with emotion, as he discovers his animal upbringing clashing with his human instincts. Additional info: Please choose 32 bars of a song from a musical of a style similar to this show. Please submit your sheet music (in the key you intend to sing)in advance, if possible. You will sing your chosen song along with the accompianist, so please have your music clearly marked with starting and stopping points. Alternatively, you may bring a karaoke-style track to sing along with. A Bluetooth speaker will be available to connect to. Performance Dates: July 18-19, 25-26, 2025 Performance Times: 7:00pm Directed by Chad C. Kendall Rehearsals will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 6:30-9:00pm beginning on Tuesday, May 27th. There may be some Friday or Saturday rehearsals as well.
