A VMT original musical based on the classic fairy tales!
Based on Disney's epic animated adventure and Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan of the Apes, Tarzan features heart-pumping music by rock legend Phil Collins, and a book by Tony Award-winning playwright, David Henry Hwang.

The treasured characters from the book and Broadway musical hop from page to stage!
The story follows Charlie as he wins a contest along with other children and is led by eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka on a tour of his mysterious factory.
A young novice leaves her convent to become a governess for a widowed naval officer and his seven children, bringing music and joy into their lives amidst the backdrop of World War II. A tuneful, heartwarming story, based on the real-life von Trapp Family singers.
