The 'wuzzification' of America in full bloom...🙄

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

Our society is nuts

Some members You mean liberal wussies.

If the local community does not support this performance, I don’t understand why anyone else cares. All y’all can watch as much Tarzan as you want.

Undertones.... ridiculous...

everyone's so sensitive jesus christ

Wow PC culture gone wild

I wouldn't give em the time of day!

Who were they gonna cast in the roles as the African villagers, frightened of their own surroundings ?...And who was gonna swing around in a diaper as Tarzan?...Poor Jane, having to play a distressed maiden is throwback sexist.

They should see Hamilton!

Cancellation culture strikes again

'The George of the Jungle play is still on.'
