Experience Mowgli and his friends like never before in a wild live-action production of The Jungle Book at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. This living storybook invites the audience to join Mowgli as he faces the mesmerizing snake Kaa and the terrifying tiger Shere Khan as he struggles to discover where he truly belongs.

“We try to make every show interactive in some way,” Lilly Theater Manager Krista Layfield said. “We perform scenes in realistic settings, and we really try to make our audiences feel immersed, as if we have transported them to a different time and place, both with the scenery and the storytelling.”

Adapted and created specifically for a younger audience this interpretation of Rudyard Kipling’s classic story, written by Indianapolis playwright Ben Asaykwee, will have its world debut on March 11, 2017 and run through April 15, 2017.  Clever costumes, a dramatic set, lighting, and special effects all contribute to making the audience feel like they’re really in the jungle with animal characters of The Jungle Book. Complete with original music, poetry and swinging stunts, this musical will keep families humming all the way home.
