Current Headlines: Disney Theatrical Productions' Tarzan has posted a closing notice for July 8 to end its fairly short run on Broadway in New York.

The show, which opened in May 2006 to mixed reviews and featured music from Phil Collins, never built the sales momentum that made The Lion King and Mary Poppins so successful, Variety.com reported.

The sales trends over the last few weeks just haven't held up, said David Schrader, managing director and CFO of Disney Theatrical.

Besides Tarzan Disney has seen a lot of success on Broadway, including Aida, which played a four-year run.
