Disney's Tarzan

Audiences are invited to experience the story of Tarzan in a new way—immersed in the sights and sounds of the jungle as the action unfolds around them. This reimagined production transforms the stage into a living environment, placing viewers at the center of the adventure.

Tarzan runs at Area Stage Company from July 19 to August 3 on select dates. Directed by Artistic Director Giancarlo Rodaz—recognized for his immersive productions of Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid—the show blends physical storytelling with direct audience engagement in a fully immersive theatrical format.

Based on Disney’s animated musical and Edgar Rice Burroughs’ original story, the production features a score by Phil Collins, including “You’ll Be in My Heart,” “Son of Man” and “Two Worlds,” with a book by Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang. The narrative follows Tarzan, a young man raised by gorillas, as he struggles to find his place between the world he knows and the human world he discovers.

With this production, Area Stage Company continues its commitment to inventive staging and interactive performance, offering audiences a distinctive interpretation of a well-known tale through music, movement and immersive design.
