Well, I only saw it once, and that was before I managed to catch Off Kilter, so hopefully that lame stuff I recall wasn't anyone from Off Kilter - especially not the Bagpipe player I have the hots for! lol And, yeah, it freaked me out the time I saw my favorite female Adventurer's Club CM (I like her best as Samantha) hosting the singers at the America pavilion in Epcot. That was just WEIRD! lol

Originally Posted By TDLFAN No need to trash American Idol...there actually is some talent on that show, and they don't need to use gimmicks such as rollerblades and nearly nude men on vines to cover up the messy production and so so singers. Well...hmmm... I admit. Nearly nude men on vines will get me to watch American Idol.
Originally Posted By danyoung >...messy production and so so singers.< I've probably already said this on this thread, but I just don't understand this perception, unless you saw the show on a rare bad day. I've seen the show twice a year since it opened (once each trip), and have never seen anything even close to messy production. And the singers are exceptional, especially the girls who do the solo riffs in You'll Be In My Heart. And the musicians are first rate, especially the guitar and bass players. Excellent musicians, excellent singers, and terrific production. And, if I may be so bold, this opinion is coming from a guy who's been in show biz in one form or another most of my adult life. To each their own, tho . . .

I also thought it was the best show I saw during my entire week at WDW--even edging out Lion King. FYI, I also have stage/singing experience, I haven't been a teenager in years, and I don't give a gorilla's patoot about nearly nude men.
Originally Posted By TDLFAN Maybe if I feel that way is because I compare it to the caliber of performers and production values of the TDR shows and it falls flat on it's face to see this show doesn't fill my 'expectations quota', but for someone who have not been there, I can see why a simple show like Tarzan would be Broadway caliber. Now that is only *MY* opinion so let's not start the "you're so jaded argument here" Some people actually do not care for TDR shows...so all is relative. As for Tarzan shows go...DLP does it better.
Originally Posted By narkspud >>a simple show like Tarzan would be Broadway caliber<< That's exaggerating what me and Dan said just a wee little bit, y'know.
Originally Posted By TDLFAN Actually no, I am not exagerating at all. I am offering an opinion based on facts and experience at the many Disney parks.
Originally Posted By danyoung I think what narkspud is saying is that neither of us think Tarzan is ready for Broadway. But it's still a fun, engaging, well performed show that fits perfectly in a theme park environment. I have no problem with people not liking something - heck, who am I to say that we all must like what I like? But there's a difference between saying "it just doesn't work for me" or "the Tokyo shows are better", and saying "it sucks and the musicians are lame and there's no production value". I never challenge a person on his or her opinion. But I will always challenge statements of fact that are clearly not correct (at least according to my self-inflated sense of show quality!).
