TARZAN The Musical Comes to the ROYAL Theatre Company Stage October 12-14

RTC_Tarzan logo

ROYAL Theatre Company, Home of The Children’s Theatre of Mason, is proud to present Tarzan The Musical October 12-14 at Mason High School. 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.

The show will run for four performances – Friday, October 12th at 7:00pm; Saturday, October 13th at 2:00pm and 7:00pm; and Sunday, October 14th at 2:00pm. VIP reserved seating tickets can be purchased for any show for $25 each, and general admission tickets for any show are $12 each.  All tickets can be purchased online at www.ROYALTheatreCompany.com through October 12th at 5pm and at the door starting one hour before each show.

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.
