Change The Article to focus on International Productions
[edit]So this article needs a lot of work. I was wondering if it would make sense to change the focus of this article on to the Intentional productions, specifically on Germanys. The show went through a lot of changes during the european productions. They added new arieal designs, staging, ect. And there is no mention that the musical was translated into different languages. There were also two tv shows that were used to cast the leads. The Musical is widely successful in Germany lasting for 10 years now. With it lasting longer than in Broadway In Germany should we shift the focus to the German production? Here is a site that has a lot more information and cites sources http://www.erbzine.com/europe/news/
To do
[edit]Infobox needs to be updated to the newer Template:Infobox Musical 2. -- Annie D 02:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Imperialism
[edit]Reference 8 and all the imperialism content in the differences between the film and stage production is very out of place. I was fascinated by the idea, but the reference article is terrible. The author of the referenced article is on a rant and uses only supposition and speculation to estimate the mind of Burroughs. It is almost as if the author has not read the actual novel. It is hardly a model of imperialism as Tarzan promptly leaves Africa and returns the leadership of the tribe to a local. While there are elements of racism and it is certainly pulp fiction, it's a stretch to call Tarzan a novel about imperialism. At the very least this is not the right section. It has nothing to do with a difference between the movie and play. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.254.18.158 (talk) 06:46, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
I agree. I think this should be removed it has nothing to do with the Musical. Unless someone can find articles about this Musical and how there was controversy about its imperialism. But even then it should be added under a new section titled controversy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bdonan (talk • contribs) 09:58, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Flesh it out?
[edit]Nothing about the critical reception, the staging, anything innovative, or the fact that it closed rather quickly compared to other Disney productions (in other words, was pretty much a flop.) Anyone want to make this a bit less stubby? ChrisStansfield 04:54, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
It would be nice if the plot was split into the two acts, and included all the songs. I haven't seen the musical so I'm afraid I can't help.128.232.250.213 (talk) 22:01, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
The plot described in the article is the plot of the animated movie -- not the play. A major flaw, if someone has time to fix. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.46.211.84 (talk) 05:32, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Cast album infobox
[edit]The article contains a second infobox in the middle of the article pertaining to the cast album. It is entirely redundant and contains nothing useful for this article. If the recording had been a big hit or had won the Grammy, it would have its own article, but there is enough detail about it in this article without the box, and there is no need for a second infobox in this article about the musical. I suggest that it be deleted. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:46, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
- I'm fine with that since I now notice that all the pertinent information (that Phil Collins wrote the songs), is already in the body text. Softlavender (talk) 22:13, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
