Snapped: Leona Lewis attends 
'Tarzan' musical in Germany…
Toyazworld ~ October 18, 2011

Leona Lewis kickstarts her promotion in Germany tonight when she performs on the X Factor in Germany. While in the country last night, Leona was adamant that work related activity was not the only thing which would receive the sole focus. 

She visited Disney’s ‘Tarzan’ musical in Hamburg. The theatrical presentation took place at Flora Neue Theater, which saw the pop belter getting an invite to meet some of the cast including lead actor Alexander Klaws.

Having fun at this point is cool. But the real test are the career-defining decisions she will need to make to get her career back on top again.

HAMBURG TARZAN REVIEWS

Not to be missed Great acrobatics
The actors literally fly through the air, very spectacular. The actors play not only on stage, but also mix in and especially over the Puklikum. Our daughter was thrilled and wanted to go the next day the same again. But we have not done.

Entertaining Evening
The scenery in the different shades of green, the music of Phil Collins and the cast are a delight for the eyes and ears. I would definitely recommend not to sit too far forward. We had seats on the upper level. (However, one should have no fear of heights). That was great, since many scenes are played in the air.

Great Show
Last year we attended the musical "Tarzan" and were thrilled. The show, the costumes and the music were just great and the scenery provided great attention to detail. The singer chills and prompted much of the story you could always follow very well. Even for children it is a violin scribed musical, the plot is transparent and in the costumes and the show, there's always something to watch. The show went a little over two hours and was interrupted by a pause. We can highly recommend a visit here!

Extremely Expensive But Great Show
It is really something more than a musical. It is rather a mix of circus, acrobatics, action, romance, dance and song.  The New Flora is well designed, so that you do not necessarily have to be in a higher priced seat. It looks good from all seats with the Monkeys raging across the hall.

The Best Musical Ever
Disney's Tarzan Musical should definitely visit if you are in Hamburg. The New Flora, the theater, is built very modern. The reception is done by very friendly staff who give excellent directons on how to get to your seat. In the new Flora, there is a very noble, but yet modern atmosphere. The musical itself is just amazing! You feel as if you yourself are in the jungle -- the music of Phil Collins and the actors are great -- just stunning beyond words. A very well done piece!

"I Love It!"
It was just wonderful! There was so much fun, the actors were enthusiastic and lived their roles. In between there were highlights (eg monkeys fell from the ceiling above us) and it was sad when it was finished now. Because I would like to go back again !!!!!

Great Job. . . Exceeded Expectations
When we bought the tickets, I was not quite sure what to expect. We were surprised - it was GREAT! We have been "bewitched" and not just by Phil Collins fantastic music but by the breathtaking aerial acrobatics of the performers and, directly above our heads ... It was an invitation to dream ... We have seen them and recommend them!

Points of Interest. . .
Great music, great cast, great costumes, great acrobatic scenes - a totally great show because of the many movements on the stage and very entertaining! Select a seat not too far forward - from the middle and rear rows one has the better overall view. Phil Collins' music we liked a lot. Looking forward to the next Hamburg musical ...

Wonderful Disney Musical
This Disney musical is one of my absolute favorites among the musicals. The music is great and the stage designs are very imaginative. During the show, flying the "monkey" on vines through the theater, bringing the viewer so in awe. During a visit to Hamburg, one should not miss this musical.

Great Show
Great show with a lot of acrobatics on stage and in the audience. The artists swing from "creepers" over the heads of the audience and on stage. The plot is easy to follow and easy to understand. The music that I found, though by Phil Collins, not quite as sparkling. Then there are some very elaborate costumes.  Suitable for children. Even our son (8 years) enjoyed the musical very well. He saw "Lion King" but he liked "Tarzan" even better.
