Their adventure continues after a dangerous encounter with King Louie and his band of monkeys. When Shere Khan returns, they must rally their friends to battle and restore peace in the jungle.  Kids ages 8-12 will have a blast in this jungle jumping with jazzy tunes including I Wanna Be Like You and, everyone’s favorite, Bare Necessities.  The musical is packed with great roles for boys and girls and a delightful toe tapping score.
