“Let Mary Zimmerman DAZZLE you!” - TAB/Wicked Local

From the imagination of Tony Award winner Mary Zimmerman (Candide) comes a captivating new musical adaptation of a timeless favorite. The jungle springs to life in a kaleidoscopic song-and-dance-filled production that chronicles young Mowgli's adventures growing up in the animal kingdom. Based on Rudyard Kipling's time-honored tales and featuring music from the classic Disney film (including "I Wan'na Be Like You" and "The Bare Necessities"), this ravishing world premiere will enchant audiences of all ages. 

 

"I heard Mary Zimmerman and her creative team’s take on The Jungle Book’s while in Chicago. Immediately I was reminded what I love about Mary and what she brings to The Jungle Book — her big heart, sophisticated mind, and a playful imagination. In this latest creation, she brilliantly interweaves Kipling’s evocative prose with the story of the classic film and marries traditional Indian instruments to its jazzy, instantly recognizable tunes. It’s a dream!"— Peter DuBois
"I’m absolutely thrilled to be returning to Boston and to the Huntington. I love the theatre and its audience. We’ve just finished our second, very intense, very joyful music workshop at the Goodman where six swing/jazz musicians and six Indian musicians brought their virtuosity to the project. The songs from the film are utterly recognizable, yet renewed and enriched by these new, beautiful sounds, and it was the thrill of a lifetime to work with Richard Sherman of the original composing team."— Mary Zimmerman
