Following the sold-out success of Disney’s The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast in 2024, Area Stage is presenting its latest immersive theatrical experience: Disney’s Tarzan.
This thrilling reimagining of the Tony-nominated Broadway musical will preview July 17 through 19, with an official opening night on July 19 at 7 p.m. and performances running through Aug. 3.
Audiences once again will step into a fully transformed space inside South Miami’s Sunset Place, where explorers and hunters gather to recount the legendary tale of Tarzan and Jane. Under the creative vision of artistic director Giancarlo Rodaz, the production will plunge theatergoers into a jungle world of heart-pounding rhythm, vine-swinging adventure, and deep emotional discovery. With Area Stage’s signature immersive staging, audience members will move through the world of the show, surrounded by live music, atmospheric design, and interactive storytelling.
Based on the Disney animated film and inspired by Edgar Rice Burroughs’ novel, Tarzan features music and lyrics by Grammy and Oscar-winning artist Phil Collins and a book by Tony Award-winning playwright David Henry Hwang. The original Broadway score — featuring iconic songs like You’ll Be in My Heart and Two Worlds —will be reimagined for this bold new production.
The show marks another ambitious chapter in Area Stage’s commitment to creating boundary-pushing immersive theater experiences. Award-winning director Giancarlo Rodaz, named Best Director by Miami New Times in 2024, returns to lead the creative team, including Raquel Dwight (set design), Joe Naftal (lighting design), Maria Banda-Rodaz and Sofia Ortega (costume design), and Katie Duerr (music director).
