ARE YOU READY FOR TARZAN?

June has come fast and while students are back to their home-to-school routine, VIVA Atlantis Theatricals is also back for its second major production this season. And it will be bringing a familiar story with a great swing!

The hit animated film from Edgar Rice Burrough’s classic novel, VIVA Atlantis gives Manila Tarzan, the man who was brought up and raised by a tribe of gorillas and must finally decide to accept his identity.

Broadway actor Dan Domenech will play the role of Tarzan, while Rachelle Ann Go is Jane. The cast, consist of veteran theater actors such as Ima Castro as ‘Kala,’ Calvin Millado as ‘Kerchak,’ Jeffrey Hidalgo as ‘Terk,’ and Eugene Villaluz as ‘Archimedes Porter.’

Director Chari Arespacochaga has long since expressed how much she is thrilled with the ensemble of cast, as much as she is excited for Tarzan to be staged in the Philippines.

The lead actors, Dan and Rachelle Ann, so far has nothing but praises for each other. And though it may be considered a short time after their first meeting, the undeniable chemistry between them could not be missed, aside from the fact that their voices blend naturally together.

Of course, you will be treated to more of that chemistry and many other heartwarming values not only for children but also for the children at heart in VIVA Atlantis Theatricals’ Tarzan. The musical opens on June 14, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays through June 29, at the Meralco Theater.
