Tarzan Featured on 'Good Morning America,' May 10

On Wednesday, May 10th, Disney's Tarzan will be featured on ABC's "Good Morning America," which airs on Channel 7 – WABC in the tri-state area.

"Good Morning America" anchor Bill Weir will go on a backstage tour of the new Broadway musical Tarzan with Phil Collins, Bob Crowley, Josh Strickland and Jenn Gambatese to see how it all works.

The show is currently in previews and opens at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on May 10th. The production stars Strickland as Tarzan, Gambatese as Jane, Merle Dandridge as Kala, Shuler Hensley as Kerchak, Chester Gregory II as Terk, Timothy Jerome as Professor Porter and Donnie Keshawarz as Clayton. Daniel Manche and Alex Rutherford alternate in the role of Young Tarzan.

Two-time Tony Award-winner Crowley (Aida, Carousel), directs the show; he also designed its scenery and costumes. Oscar- and seven-time Grammy Award-winner Collins has written the music and lyrics, expanding his songs for Disney's film into a complete theatre score. Tony Award-winner David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly) has written the book, based on the novel, Tarzan of the Apes, by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and the Disney film Tarzan.

Choreography is by Meryl Tankard, with aerial design by Pichón Baldinu (De La Guarda). Lighting design is by Tony Award-winner Natasha Katz (Aida) and sound design is by John Shivers. Other members of the creative team include Paul Bogaev (music producer/vocal arrangements) and Doug Besterman (orchestrations).
