Based on the smash-hit Disney animated film, Tarzan® swings into the Arvada Center marking its Colorado stage debut. Familiar to families over several generations, Tarzan® tells the story of an infant boy orphaned in a shipwreck on the shores of west Africa. The child is taken in and raised by a tribe of gorillas.
