Jane returns to the site with Tarzan, and she is thrilled by the tribe of gorillas. Tarzan and Jane carefully assess each other as they realize their similar qualities ('Different').ДЄt the Porter expedition site, Terk and the other gorillas discover the site and all of its unique features, and do some redecorating ('Trashin' The Camp'). While exploring, she is attacked by a giant spider but is rescued by Tarzan. Deep in the jungle, Jane Porter, a young English naturalist, is overwhelmed by the thrillingly diverse jungle life ('Waiting For This Moment'). Suddenly, gunshots are heard throughout the jungle, causing the tribe to scatter, but Tarzan investigates. Kerchak won't change his mind until Tarzan kills the leopard that has been terrorizing the tribe. Kala tries to convince Kerchak to accept Tarzan ('Sure As Sun Turns To Moon'). Years pass, and Tarzan grows into a young man, athletic and resourceful (' Son of Man'), accepted by many of the gorillas as one of their own, except for Kerchak. Kala tells him that even though they look different, underneath the skin, they are just the same, reigniting Tarzan's desire to become the best ape ever. She discovers him despairing by the water's edge ('I Need To Know'). Kala worries for him and goes off to find him. However, Kerchak finds Tarzan constructing a spear, and assuming he intends to hurt the gorillas, he exiles him from the gorilla tribe ('No Other Way'). Despite this, Tarzan is befriended by the lighthearted Terk, a young gorilla who teaches him the ways of the gorillas ('Who Better Than Me'). She mothers him and raises him despite Kerchak's refusal to treat Tarzan as his son (' You'll Be In My Heart').ДЄs a young child, Tarzan finds that he cannot keep up with the tribe, while Kerchak views him as a threat. Kala goes off to find her son but finds the human boy instead and names him Tarzan. Sabor suddenly appears and kidnaps the newborn baby gorilla. In the African Jungle, Kerchak, the leader of a tribe of gorillas admires his new infant son with his mate, Kala (' Two Worlds'). They construct a tree house for their son before being killed by a leopard named Sabor. Off the West African coast, a young English couple and their newborn son barely survive a shipwreck and land in Africa. Some alterations include the female gorilla Terk being changed to male for the musical, while Tantor the elephant is absent completely. The musical follows the plot of the Disney film, with a few minor changes. The production was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Lighting Design of a Musical. Danton Burroughs, grandson of Edgar Rice Burroughs, attended the opening night party, as did Phil Collins. The original production began previews on Broadway on March 24, 2006, and officially opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on May 10. Pascal's part was cut from the production when it opened on Broadway. A workshop was held in 2004, with Daniel Manche as the Child Tarzan, Matthew Morrison as the Adult Tarzan, Adam Pascal as Tarzan Storyteller and Laura Bell Bundy as Jane.
