More about the production
This all-time children’s classic is produced by Jill Girard and Keith Smith.
“We ensure that Gauteng audiences will be entertained by the magic of Disney’s treatment of Rudyard Kipling’s classic story, as well as by the wonderful songs,” they said.
Coenraad Rall is the music director, set by Grant Knottenbelt and choreography by Sandy Dyer Richardson.
“The production will bring all essential ingredients that will make this a memorable, theatrical experience,” said Girard and Smith.
The Jungle Book is about a young boy named Mowgli and his host of animal friends in the jungle. This story has been a hit with children since it was published in 1893.
The Peoples Theatre production features a delightful cast of professional actors and talented children who will magically weave their way through the jungle, capturing the imagination of every child in the audience while allowing them to participate in the action of this much-loved favourite.
Meet Mowgli’s unforgettable friends in this colourful production. Sing and dance along to the instantly recognizable hits, while Mowgli learns valuable life lessons on his journey to the man-village, where he belongs.
Baloo will be played by one of Peoples Theatre’s favourite performers, Luciano Zuppa. Baloo is an easy-going and fun-loving character who shirks responsibility.
He is a sleepy old bear who teaches Mowgli the law of the jungle and is well known for his song ‘The Bare Necessities’ during their adventure through the jungle.
Baloo eventually realises that the man-village is the best place for Mowgli. Bagheera, Mowgli’s mentor and protector is tasked with getting Mowgli to the man-village, but he is met with many obstacles along the way.
Bagheera will be played by the wonderful Yamikani Mahaka-Phiri, who was recently seen in Beneath African Skies.
