BWW Reviews: Pearland Thatre Guild's TARZAN is Wholly Entertaining
by David Clarke - Aug 26, 2013
The stage musical of TARZAN may be Disney's biggest Broadway flop. The company reportedly sunk anywhere between $12 million to $15 million into the overinflated musical. The problem that may reviewers and audiences had with the show was that the often-repeated stunning visuals ceased to be astounding after about the first 10 minutes of the production. When I saw that the Pearland Theatre Guild was producing the musical, I initially thought that the community theater group must have been completely out of their minds to program such an ambitious and notoriously unsuccessful musical. With the allure of the macabre, I was drawn to the production thinking I'd see a train crash into a sinking ship. To my surprise, the Houston premiere production was rather buoyant and wholly entertaining.
