New Tarzan Musical

From Broadway.com:

Tarzan
Disney's newest family sensation soars onto Broadway in Spring 2006!

A shipwreck leaves an infant orphaned on the West African shore. The helpless baby is taken under the protection of a gorilla tribe and becomes part of their family. When he eventually encounters his first human--Jane Porter, a curious young explorer--both their worlds are transformed forever.
Based on the award-winning animated film, Disney announces its first new Broadway musical in five years, and the remarkable team of artists assembled to tell this story. Six-time Grammy® Award winner Phil Collins has expanded his original songs-including the Oscar® and Grammy® Award winning "You'll Be in My Heart" and "Two Worlds"--creating a complete theater score. Two-time Tony® winner Bob Crowley directs and designs the show, and Tony® winner David Henry Hwang has adapted the story for the stage. The Broadway debuts of acclaimed Australian choreographer Meryl Tankard and aerial designer Pichon Baldinu, creator of De La Guarda, will help bring the world of Tarzan® to life.

Tarzan soars onto Broadway on March 24, 2006.

Colm Wilkinson in The Pirate Queen!

by BWW News Desk

Colm Wilkinson will return to musical theatre by once again collaborating with Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg, whose Les Miserables launched him to theatrical fame 20 years ago.

Wilkinson will play the male lead in The Pirate Queen, an historical musical epic based on the life of Grace O'Malley (called Grania in the show), "a larger than life figure in Irish history. Set in 16th century Ireland and England, it tells the story of her losses and triumphs, both in her personal relationships and in her battles with the English in defending her beloved Ireland."

The Pirate Queen will be directed by John McColgan and produced by Moya Doherty, both of Riverdance. The swashbuckling show would get its start in Dublin in 2006 before setting sail for London and most likely, Broadway.

The musical, with a score that blends pop, rock, musical theatre and Irish music, will use Irish-step choreography in its scenes of battles and funerals, according to McColgan. Mark Dendy of Taboo will create the dances that evoke those of Riverdance.

Boublil (book) and Schonberg (music and book) wrote Les Miserables with lyricist Herbert Kretzmer (based on the French ones of Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel). Together, they also wrote Miss Saigon and the less-successful Martin Guerre.

The Pirate Queen would herald Wilkinson's return to Broadway after an absence of more than 15 years. The star, who makes his home in Toronto, has occupied himself for several years as a concert performer. Wilkinson originated the role of Jean Valjean in both the London and Broadway productions of Les Miserables (for which he received a Tony nod), and also created the role of the Phantom in the Sydmonton workshop of The Phantom of the Opera; he would star in the show in Toronto for four and a half years, and won two Dora Mavor Moore Awards for his performances in the two roles. As a recording artist, he sang the title role(s) in the Highlight album of Frank Wildhorn's Jekyll and Hyde and the many albums on which he has sung include his solos Stage Heroes and Some of My Best Friends Are Songs.
