"Gorgeous and imaginative. It's the flying apes and title character that people
have come to see, and the show doesn't disappoint. Phil Collins' music includes
some terrific songs." -- Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter

"Sensational! The most visually enthralling show since 'The Lion King!'" --
Richard Zoglin, Time Magazine

(June 15, 2006) The cast album for TARZAN®, the new musical presented by Disney
Theatrical Productions, which opened on Broadway on May 10th, 2006, will be
released by Walt Disney Records on June 27. Oscar® and six-time GRAMMY® Award
winner Phil Collins has written the music and lyrics, expanding his songs for
Disney's film into the complete theatre score. The album also features a
special treat - Collins performs "Everything That I Am," one of the nine new
songs he penned for the musical.


More than 90 years ago, Edgar Rice Burroughs introduced TARZAN® to the world in
the October 1912 issue of "All Story Magazine." The character was an instant
sensation. Since then, he has been featured in 26 authorized novels and more
than 44 motion pictures, including Disney's 1999 film.

Phil Collins composed five songs for the 1999 film, "Disney's TARZAN®,"
including "Two Worlds, One Family," "Strangers Like Me," and "You'll Be In My
Heart," which won the 2000 Academy Award® for Song of the Year, spent 10 weeks
as #1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart, and was #1 in 14 countries.
The soundtrack went double platinum, while the film went on to instant
international success, grossing $447 million worldwide, with subsequent DVD
sales in excess of 13 million units.


Collins, who makes his Broadway songwriting debut with TARZAN®, has written
music and lyrics for nine new songs for the Broadway production, in addition to
his film score.

Although he has directed in his native Ireland, Bob Crowley makes his Broadway
directorial debut with TARZAN®. Crowley, whose recent work includes his Tony
Award®-winning scenery for Aida and his acclaimed design on Mary Poppins in
London, has been praised for creating expressionistic, poetic environments for
his productions, and brings that depth of artistry to the world of TARZAN®.
Tony Award®-winner David Henry Hwang (M. Butterfly), has written the book,
adapted from the screenplay by Tab Murphy, Bob Tzudiker and Noni White and based
on the novel, Tarzan of the Apes, by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Josh Strickland makes his Broadway debut as Tarzan. The production also stars
Jenn Gambatese (All Shook Up , Hairspray ) as Jane, Merle Dandridge (Rent, Jesus
Christ Superstar, Aida) as Kala, Shuler Hensley (Tony®, Drama Desk, Outer
Critics Circle and Olivier Award winner for his performance as Jud Fry in
Oklahoma!) as Kerchak, Chester Gregory II (Hairspray, The Jackie Wilson Story)
as Terk, Timothy Jerome (Disney's Beauty and the Beast , Tony® and Drama Desk
nominated for Me and My Girl) as Professor Porter and Donnie Keshawarz (Taboo,
TVs "Lost," "24" and "The Sopranos") as Clayton. Daniel Manche and Alex
Rutherford will alternate in the role of Young Tarzan.


TARZAN® currently is in production at the Richard Rodgers Theatre (226 West 46th
Street) in New York City. For ticket information, please contact Ticketmaster
