Asolo Rep brings the Jungle Book to life with a multi-media premiere of a show that retells Rudyard Kipling's beloved story. Take a trip back to the Indian jungle and watch Mowgli, Baloo and Kaa entertain, delight, and, yes, scare. The presentation includes video, live performance and interactive technologies. It's a great musical and promises to astound your senses (probably good to know, too, if you have a kiddo at home who doesn't do well in that environs). It's suggested for any kids over five, but you be the judge of what works best for your family — and remember, there's no rule saying you need to bring a kid to the show — there'll be plenty for adults to see, too!
