The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book at Albert Goodman Theater

Why see The Jungle Book?

From the imagination of Tony Award winner Mary Zimmerman comes a new dazzling song-and-dance-filled spectacular that chronicles Mowgli's adventures growing up in the animal kingdom. Inventive sets and costumes help to recreate the lush Indian jungle and creatures found within, with clever costume design helping to blur the lines between man and beast.

Based on Rudyard Kipling's time-honored children's tales and featuring music from the classic Disney film, this spellbinding new production is the theatrical event of the season!
