Just So
April 10, 2025 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Music by George Stiles. Lyrics by Anthony Drewe. Five of Rudyard Kipling’s tales weave together into a wonderous tale of personal courage, individuality and friendship. Set to an eclectic, upbeat score, Kipling’s Just So Stories are woven with wit and imagination into a song-filled journey through the jungle. “Before the High and Far-off Times… came the Time of the Very Beginnings,” when everything was just so, until Pau Amma the Crab started playing with the ocean. This caused the lands to flood, disrupting the other animals and putting them in danger. While the rest of the animals accept their sad fate, Elephant’s Child embarks on a journey to challenge and overcome the disobedient crab. Along the way, he meets other animals and discovers how the mysteries of their phenomenon came to be. Inspired by the Stories of Rudyard Kipling. Orchestrations by Christopher Jahnke. Associate Orchestrator John Clancy.
