Christian Youth Theater-North Idaho is bringing "Tarzan, the Stage Musical," to the Salvation Army Kroc Theater, Nov. 1-10.

Based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Tarzan of the Apes" and the smash-hit 1999 Disney animated film, Tarzan tells the story of an infant boy orphaned on the shores of West Africa. Taken in and raised by a tribe of gorillas, the young boy strives for acceptance by his ape father while grappling with his uniqueness. When a human expedition enters their territory, Tarzan - now a man - encounters strangers like himself for the first time.

Performers include 78 local children who are currently taking CYT-NI's theater arts fall classes.

The show became available for production through Music Theatre International in 2012. It features music and lyrics by pop icon Phil Collins, including the Grammy and Oscar winning song, "You'll Be in My Heart."

"Filled with beautiful choreography and bursting with African jungle adventure, this show has been called 'one of the most daring stage musicals of our era,'" states a press release. "CYT-NI is excited to bring their production of Tarzan to North Idaho."

Show times are Nov. 1, 2, 8 and 9 at 7 p.m.; Nov. 2, 9 and 10 at 3 p.m.; and Nov. 3 at 1 and 4 p.m.

The 3 p.m. show on Nov. 2 is a family discount matinee with all tickets priced at $8. Nov. 3 is special needs performance.

Tickets range in price from $8-$14. Discounted group rates are also available.

Tickets are now on sale at the CYT-North Idaho website, cytnorthidaho.org or by calling the box office, 277-5727.
