Experience The Jungle Book On Stage
Upon its release in 1894, Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book proved to be an instant classic amongst readers old and young alike. The children-aimed story series chronicled the adventures of the pint-sized protagonist Mowgli and a menagerie of fearsome jungle animals, and not only made for riveting reading, but mesmerising animated action when the story was released as a Disney film in 1967. Now it leaps from the page and screen, and onto the stage during Detroit's Music Hall production this winter!
Raised by a family of wolves since birth, Mowgli the man-cub meets his match in Shere Khan, a lame tiger that has hunted him ever since Mother and Father Wolf took him into their tribe. With the help of his guardians Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther, Mowgli learns the lore of the jungle whilst coming of age in the shadow of his fearsome feline arch-nemesis.
