June 21 - August 4, 2013 In the Albert
Approximate running time: tbd

From the imagination of Tony Award winner Mary Zimmerman, this dazzling new adaptation of a timeless favorite is sure to enchant audiences of all ages.

The jungle springs to life in a music-filled spectacle that chronicles young Mowgli’s adventures growing up in the animal kingdom. Based both on Rudyard Kipling’s time-honored children’s tales and the classic Disney film—and with a score featuring the movie’s best-loved songs and original Indian-inspired music and dance—this spellbinding world premiere is the theatrical event of the season. 

For adults and families with children ages 6+.

Groups of 15 or more save on single tickets. Visit GoodmanTheatre.org/Groups or email Groups@GoodmanTheatre.org for rates and availability.

Produced in Association with Huntington Theatre Company

  • The Jungle Book Workshop | February 2013
    In February 2013, The Jungle Book Director/Adapter Mary Zimmerman and Music Director Doug Peck held a music workshop which united six Chicago swing/jazz musicians with six Indian instrumentalists to fuse songs to create a sound unique to this production. The legendary Academy Award winner Richard Sherman is collaborating on this production, providing access and permission to adapt beloved songs that Sherman and his brother, Robert, wrote for the film—as well as unused songs written for the film, plus new lyrics written for this production.

    To gain a sense of the sights and sounds that inspired Kipling to create these wild, wonderful stories, Mary and her design team traveled to India last December; she was kind enough to let us share a few photos of their travels with you.
