SALT Performing Arts Stages ‘Tarzan: The Musical’

SALT Performing Arts in Chester Springs has announced that Disney's Tarzan: The Musical will run April 3–26 at SALT's Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, venue.

This production features a cast of local performers, along with aerial elements integrated into the jungle-themed storytelling. According to MyChesCo, aerial choreography created by Grounded Aerial will bring the jungle canopy to life with performers swinging and soaring above the stage.

The musical follows Tarzan's journey from a gorilla-raised child to a man forging his place among explorers, all while exploring themes of identity, family, and belonging. Music by Phil Collins anchors the performance, featuring songs like "You'll Be in My Heart," "Son of Man," and "Two Worlds," combined with acrobatics for a family-friendly experience.

The production team includes Chelsea Barnett as director and choreographer, John Williams as musical director, Kathy DeVries as costume designer, and Graycen Paulicelli with hair and makeup. Robbie Merow oversees the set, lighting, and sound work.

Opening night on Friday, April 3, will include a Dressy Attire & Champagne celebration. Additional performances are scheduled for select Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in April, with matinee and evening showtimes available. Tickets are available online. Accessibility accommodations are available via the north entrance; arrangements can be made by emailing jelliott@saltpa.com.

As part of its 10-year partnership with the Chester County Food Bank, SALT will collect food donations at every performance, with a $1 from each ticket sold donated to the food bank. Items requested for the food drive include canned vegetables, canned fruit, pasta and rice, shelf-stable proteins such as tuna or beans, peanut butter, and other nonperishable foods.

SALT Performing Arts is at 1645 Art School Road in Chester Springs.
