About The Jungle Book KIDS
The jungle is jumpin’ with jazz in Disney’s The Jungle Book KIDS. Specially
adapted from the classic film, this musical includes all your favorite Disney
tunes, like “The Bare Necessities,” and “I Wan’na Be Like You.”
On the run from Shere Khan, a ferocious tiger who has banished him from
the jungle, an agile panther named Bagheera aids a human boy named
Mowgli. Along the way, the two meet a sinister snake named Kaa, a herd
of elephants, and a giant bear named Baloo, who teaches them the swingin’
musical rhythms of the jungle. After surviving a dangerous encounter with a
band of monkeys led by King Louie, Mowgli and Bagheera are forced to run
for their lives. Shere Khan returns, leading our protagonists to rally their
fellow jungle creatures into battle and restore peace to the jungle.
