'Tarzan' the Musical - Original Cast Recording

“Tarzan”, the latest Disney hit on Broadway, opened this year bringing to life the lovable animated characters. The story of Tarzan, the man reared by apes, and his journey to self-realization finds a new audience with the help of Grammy Award winning songwriter Phil Collins. "Visually stunning" sets of foliage, promising talent, energetic Western African rhythms and, of course, one alluring loincloth, and you've got the makings of a crowd pleaser. A fun romp through the jungle tale, the music of “Tarzan” bounces from pop to rock, to heartfelt ballads with a choppiness that will either be lost on devout fanatics or immediately condemned by critics. However, the recording shines with gems like Collin's "You'll Be In My Heart," the peppy "Who Better Than Me," the Tarzan/Jane romance on ""For the First Time"" and the climactic "Everything I Am" when Tarzan finally realizes who he is in the context of the world around him. Kids will love it, and reluctant adults will be charmed unawares.
