S choolchildren, from Croydon, Sutton, West Wickham and Bromley who successfully auditioned for the roles, are among those appearing as creatures of the jungle in this favourite story.

Bruce James Productions bring a musical adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's much-loved classic The Jungle Book to Croydon next week.

This delightful musical adaptation by Debra James tells the story of Mowgli the man cub who has been raised in the jungle by a family of Wolves.

Happy with life in the jungle Mowgli suddenly finds his world turned upside down when the evil Shere Khan swears to kill him.

Fortunately his wise old teacher Baloo the bear and Bagheera the black panther decide there is no choice but to take Mowgli to the safety of the man village.

But as we all know the jungle is full of danger and surprises and through their journey they all learn the true meaning of friendship.

So, why not travel to the heart of the jungle and join Mowgli and his friends in this fun for all the family musical adventure!
