The Musical Tarzan
Posted by Alvina
I went to see the musicak Tarzan on Friday!! I had wanted to go for some time now but the tickets are really expensive. They are €75 euro's (which is like $80 (USD)) for the first row. Obviously I want first row tickets but I'm not going to pay 75 euro's for one bloody ticket. So, we decided not to go. Guess what! My sister works at Free Record Shop (DVD/CD shop) and they had this discount thing on the musical Tarzan. Turns out tickets for the first row would be 35 euro's then (around 40 USD). Just 35 euros? Well, we went!!
It played in Scheveningen, for those who don't know. That's a city which lays at the sea so we had a beach and a boulevard with shops and all that. SO, we went early so we could shop and just visit the beach. The weather was nice and warm so we were lucky.
At 7 o'clock we went to the theatre, it would start at 8. We were tired so we decided to go to the theatre. We had to wait an hour before we could take our seats but that didn't matter, we could sit down. Oh, I bought a nice (green) keychain, with the Tarzan logo on it. It's nice.
Our seats were front row so we were close to the stage. I must tell you that the musical was awesome! It began with a loud bang which made half the theatre jump 1 metre from their seats. We had the normal cast, Ron Link as Tarzan, Chantal Jansen as Jane and Chaira Borderslee as Kala!
If you have seen the Disney Cartoon/Movie of Tarzan you'll know what happens but the movie cannot compare to the musical. It was great. Gorila's were swiging above the audience, Little Tarzan would jump up and down, trying to be the best Ape ever. Tarzan swung from the back of the theatre onto the stage, Tark would hang up side down. The emsamble would participate in bungee jumping... It was madness but so bloody awesome!
I definately would want to go again for that prize. Though this time I'd sit a little further from the stage so I can see everything!
After the show we went to the artist exit. I wanted to have a picture of me and Chaira but I didn't recognize her so she walked past me - yeah stupid of me, isn't it? But I do have another picture of my and Chantal and one with Ron!! Awesome!
