The Arts Center of Cannon County presents the local production of Disney’s Tarzan The Musical starting tonight. The performance is directed by Darryl Deason, musical direction by Allison Hall with Choreography by Lauren Johnson 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 follows the plot of the Disney film: Shipwrecked off the coast of Africa, the young son of an English couple is raised by a tribe of gorillas to manhood, when a pretty English naturalist crosses his path and teaches him about love and civilized ways. Phil Collins expands his Oscar-winning song (“You’ll Be in My Heart”) from Disney’s cartoon feature film into a full Broadway score.
Performances run Friday and Saturday at 7:30 & 2pm on Sunday, March 20th- April 4th. Call 615-563-2787 to make reservations
