Sergio Trujillo Working on European Production of Tarzan
March 19th, 2007Theater.com reports that Jersey Boys choreographer Sergio Trujillo is currently in Amsterdam, collaborating on a new concept for the European production of the Disney musical Tarzan, which opened on Broadway last year to largely negative reviews.
About his new project, Trujillo stated,
I am truly honored to be working with Disney. Tarzan is a wonderfully inventive show, and I look forward to moving the characters and story in new and different ways.
In addition to his work on JB, Trujillo has also choreographed such shows as Broadway’s All Shook Up and the City Center Encores! productions of Kismet and A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. He recently helped launch the first national tour of Jersey Boys and will be on hand for the numerous national and international rollout productions.
Among his other credits are the new musical Zhivago and a re-imagining of The Wiz, both at the La Jolla Playhouse and both in collaboration with Jersey Boys director Des McAnuff. In addition, Trujillo has been named as director-choreographer of a new Broadway musical based on the life of Carmen Miranda.
Good luck, Sergio. Although some of the reviews were negative, all the kids that I know who saw “Tarzan” loved it. And Josh Strickland, a gracious guy, did quite a good job. Sure your choreography will add a lot.
