The JUNGLE BOOK, a musical story for 4-11 year-olds, adapted from the Mowgli stories of Rudyard Kipling and made popular by the Walt Disney movie, is magically brought to life. Brought up in the Indian jungle, MOWGLI THE MAN CUB is taught the laws of the jungle by his friends BALOO THE BEAR and BAGHEERA THE PANTHER. When the time comes for Mowgli to leave the jungle and return to the Man Village, the lessons he has learned prove invaluable. THE JUNGLE BOOK is a delightful, musical comedy show with plenty of audience participation, interactive fun and ideal for children of all ages!

This production is presented in collaboration with S4K International.
