If you've spoken to my eldest child lately, the topic of Tarzan may have come up in the conversation. The boy is obsessed. Thanks to Grammy, Wes and I got the opportunity to take Liam to his very first play (musical), Disney's Tarzan at the Hale Centre Theater. We were unsure about a three-year old sitting through three hours of live singing and dancing, but he is a boy after my own heart and loves the theatre!
He was so excited to meet Tarzan and Jane in person, that when he got up to them after waiting in a long line, he did the splits and struck the most hilarious pose. I thought Tarzan and Jane would bust a gut laughing so hard. They loved him!
Liam also begged to meet the Mamma and Dadda gorillas. The tongue means he's really happy. Ask him to show you his gorilla moves.
Liam had a long conversation with young Tarzan. When asked his favorite part, he replied, "the leopard." That's the part where Tarzan's parents and the baby gorilla get killed. I was sobbing during this part. Another highlight was the "mean hunter." Liam is a defender of our 2nd amendment rights.
I'm so glad the Hale decided to add a performance especially for kids so that my boy could have this experience. Plays have totally enhanced my life! And finally, thank you to Phil Collins for writing spectacular music, because we've been listening to the original Broadway recording for weeks now. Every. Day. MUST get Liam singing on video. Classic.
