This Christmas, the Tabard Theatre presents its
biggest scale production ever. With a cast of eleven and a live band, Just So is a bold
and vivid musical adventure adapted from Rudyard
Kipling’s Just So Stories. With lavish sets,
beautiful costumes and a powerful soundtrack,
Just So brings the magic, wonder and
excitement of the jungle to Chiswick and beyond.
Set at the beginning of time, along
Africa’s Limpopo River, the Eldest magician created
a world full of beasts, birds and fish. Everything
was just so, until Pau Amma the Crab began playing
with the ocean, causing a flood that threatened the
other animals.
To
stop the crab, the Elephant’s Child must go on a
quest down the Limpopo River. With the help of
Kolokolo Bird they discover a world of weird and
wonderful creatures and learn how the leopard got
his spots, how the rhinoceros got his skin, and how
curiosity and a hungry crocodile can turn an
elephant’s small nose into a very large trunk.
By arrangement with Cameron
Mackintosh and written by award-winning West End
writers George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (Mary
Poppins, Honk, Tutankhamun), this production
marks the 25th anniversary of a show that has been
reworked specifically for the Tabard Theatre.
"Cameron (Mackintosh), Anthony
(Drewe) and I are very excited… We think it's
perfect for the Tabard - it's such a lovely theatre
and I've been there many times and seen lots of
excellent new work there. I think JUST SO is a
fabulously entertaining Christmas show and will
appeal enormously to a family audience." George
Stiles
As the producers that brought you
previous year’s The Famous Five and Stig
of the Dump,
Just So
weaves together five of Kipling's most famous
stories into a thrilling adventure about personal
courage, individuality and friendship. Book early as
performances do sell out.
