The only Disney musical in the Czech Republic in theatrical form returns to the Hybernia Theatre. In just one month, the successful work with music by Phil Collins and the best Czech musical actors and singers will be presented in a renewed premiere. The famous story of a young man raised by a gorilla and searching for his roots has travelled the world. The Czech version of the musical will offer great performances, costumes and a set that will transport the audience to the jungle. Tarzan premiered in Hybernia two years ago, and thanks to a successful performance, which was appreciated directly by the creators from Disney, the musical was able to return to the Czech theatre boards. The premiere will take place on 4 April 2024.

Robert Urban and Peter Pecha will play the roles of Tarzan in adult form. The roles of Kerchak will be played by Josef Vojtek and Marian Vojtko, while the role of Kala will be played by Dita Hořnkov and Jana Zenhlkov. Ivana Korolov and Petra Vojtkov will alternate the role of Jane.

In the smoking room, Tarzan thought of how he had renounced his birthright for Jane's sake. Jane was engaged to William Cecil Clayton, Lord Greystoke, a title that was rightfully Tarzan's. Tarzan planned to return to the jungle of his birth, but realized that he would miss the companionship of other humans.

Tarzan had earlier noticed two men whispering conspiratorially. One of the men now offered to play cards with three others, sitting opposite Count Raoul de Coude. The second conspirator entered, and stealthily placed something in the count's pocket. The first man accused the count of cheating, claiming he saw the count place cards in his pocket. Tarzan intercepted the second man, and revealed the plot to the card players. The count recognized Nikolas Rokoff and Alexis Paulvitch, and asked Tarzan to drop the matter. Rokoff told Tarzan he would regret interfering.

Later, Tarzan noticed Rokoff and Paulvitch walking on deck, and heard the words, "And if she screams you may choke her until--". Tarzan followed them to Olga's room. Olga opened the door for Rokoff. She told him to leave her alone. Rokoff let Paulvitch into the room, and stood guard outside. Paulvitch explained that the newspapers would hear that Olga was entertaining a man in her cabin. There was a woman's scream. Tarzan grabbed Rokoff and broke down the door, to see Paulvitch choking Olga. Olga insisted that the situation be kept secret. Tarzan told Rokoff that if he or Paulvitch bothered Olga again, Tarzan would call them to account for it. Olga expressed her gratitude.

Tarzan arrives in Paris and goes to see D'Arnot who reprimands him for renouncing his title. Tarzan explains that the title means little to him and to accept it would take it from Cecil Clayton and from Jane.

Tarzan begins to enjoy the temptations of Paris. He smokes too many cigarettes and drinks a lot of absinth. One night, while visiting a music hall, Tarzan senses that he is being watched. He catches a glimpse of the eyes of the watcher and thinks he recognizes them but cannot place them.

After he leaves the hall, he hears a scream for help. He runs to the sound and finds a woman in the midst of a dozen attackers one of whom is Rokoff. The men attack the ape man. Tarzan's jungle bred instincts take over. He fells several of the attackers and the others, including Rokoff, flee. Rokoff calls the police who arrive to find Tarzan with the woman and three men groaning on the floor. The woman turns on Tarzan and tells the police that he was the attacker and that the other men came to her aid. Tarzan tries to tell his side of the tale but when one of the policemen advances upon Tarzan and puts his hand on him, Tarzan leaves him and the others crumpled on the floor and he escapes.

Back in D'Arnot's apartment, Tarzan tells his friend of the night's happenings. D'Arnot takes Tarzan to the police to tell his story to an official who is a close friend of D'Arnot's. Upon hearing the story of Tarzan's life and the adventure of the previous night, the police forgive the matter.

That night, Tarzan and his friend attend the opera but Tarzan has trouble enjoying it as his thoughts are of Jane. As he tries to rid himself of the thoughts, he sees Olga, Countess de Coude looking at him. He goes to her box and the two of them are seen by Rokoff and Paulvitch. Olga tells Tarzan that she has much to tell him but cannot do so at the opera so they make plans to meet the next afternoon.

Tarzan goes to the Count's palace the next day where he and the Countess speak of many things including Rokoff. She tells Tarzan that Rokoff is a Russian spy who is trying to extract secrets that are in the possession of the Count. Tarzan asks why they do not turn Rokoff over to the authorities and she tells him that Rokoff is her brother.

Tarzan visited Countess de Coude regularly for the next month, sometimes alone. Olga, much younger than her husband, craved a friend her own age. She trusted Tarzan. Rokoff watched, waiting for a chance to strike. Waiting until the Count would be out until late, Rokoff had Paulvitch call Tarzan with a message that the Countess needed to see him. Then Paulvitch carried a note to the Count saying that a man was with his wife.

Tarzan went to see Olga, who was dressed for bed. She told him she had not sent for him. Tarzan figured out that it was one of Rokoff's plots. He took sought to comfort her, and circumstances got the better of them, and they kissed.

The count arrived in time to see this. He struck Tarzan with his stick. Tarzan reverted to the primitive and attacked the count. He threw the count's body to the floor and gave the cry of the bull ape. Then he came to his sense, helped revive the Count, and left before he awoke.

Tarzan went to Rokoff's residence. Upon threat of death, Rokoff wrote and signed a confession of the plot, and promised that the newspapers would not hear of it. Tarzan then told Rokoff to leave France.

The next day, Tarzan told D'Arnot about the events at the de Coude home. A week later, the Count sent his challenge. Tarzan accepted, and chose pistols as the weapon, despite D'Arnot's belief that Tarzan would be killed. Tarzan remained calm about the whole matter. He did not fear death. He wrote letters for D'Arnot to deliver.

The day of the duel came. Tarzan and de Coude were each given a pistol with three shots. They stood back to back, walked ten paces, and turned. De Coude fired. Tarzan started, but left the pistol at his side. De Coude fired again, and knew that both shots had hit. Unnerved, his last shot missed. Tarzan offered his pistol to the Count, saying that only by death could he atone for the wrong he had done. He said that Olga had no blame in the matter, and gave the Count Rokoff's confession. Everyone became fast friends, and the doctor treated Tarzan's two wounds.

Special agent Tarzan is sent to Algeria to keep an eye on Lieutenant Gernois, who is suspected of traitorous dealings with a foreign power. His cover as an American hunter and traveler (and a fortunate friendship with one of the officers, Captain Gerard) allows him to travel with a company of spahis on their way to Bou Saada in the Petit Sahara, the destination of Gernois as well.

Along the way, in Sidi Aissa, Tarzan employs a youthful Arab, Abdul, as a servant and interpreter. Tarzan catches the eye and the heart of an Ouled-Nail, a slave, dancing girl at a cafe. She warns Tarzan of a (Rokoff) plot to kill him, and the three escape a host of surly Arabs to a rooftop in an exciting, running battle.

Tarzan promises to return the slave girl to her father, who happens to be the great sheik, Kadour ben Saden. Tarzan had just purchased a horse from him in that very city (Sidi Aissa) so the reunion with her father is a simple matter.

The sheik and his daughter return to their home in the wilderness. Tarzan has new friends, and a rough speaking acquaintance with Arabic. He muses upon the idea of returning to live with them forever once his mission is accomplished.

Tarzan receives a letter from D'Arnot. It states how D'Arnot ran into Philander and his friends unexpectedly, and gained news of Jane's approaching marriage. Jane had apparently been delaying the wedding and passed on a message about how happy her time in the jungle had been. Clayton's friend Tennington was encouraging the whole party to help him circumnavigate Africa. Further news related how the De Coudes wished Tarzan well and had made Rokoff leave France. D'Arnot himself was returning to his ship and sailing under sealed orders. Tarzan muses over Jane's comments and finds some happiness. The next three weeks are uneventful, with Tarzan playing his role as hunter, apart from a near miss from a lone bullet while out of camp. Captain Gerard then invites Tarzan lion hunting near Djelfa with Gernois. A party of Arabs accompany them, but vanish later apparently after speaking with Gernois, who Tarzan has determined to be the sniper. The French party splits and hunts for marauders attacking local tribesmen. Tarzan accompanies Gernois, but is ordered to wait while Gernois searches the area with his men. Tarzan falls asleep on his horse but is woken by Numa El Adrea, the black lion. Tarzan loses his horse but kills the lion with his rifle. He then returns towards camp, stalked by Arab marauders.

As Tarzan walks through the night he becomes aware of his pursuers, and realizes Gernois has set him up. The Arabs shoot him and carry his unconscious body away, hoping for a reward. At noon, after Tarzan has recovered from his flesh wound, the Arabs reach a douar where the people mock and abuse this prisoner. However, a local sheik drives them away respecting Tarzan's bravery as a lion-killer. Tarzan is left in a tent, strongly bound. Later that night, Tarzan is visited by Rokoff, disguised as an Arab. The sheik again stops any abuse of Tarzan, and declares Tarzan can only be killed far away from the douar so the French can't take revenge on his people. Rokoff declares he will take Tarzan away and kill him in the morning and leaves. Later Tarzan hears a lion approaching. However, what enters the tent secretly is the Ouled-Nail of Sisi Aissa who frees him. She explains how she owes him a rescue and her cousin heard of his capture. They then find the lion has taken the horses she left for their escape. Resigned, they make their way on foot only to encounter Numa, El Adrea. Tarzan borrows the girl's knife and prepares for battle. The lion springs.
