JUST SO

Music by George Stiles

Book and lyrics by Anthony Drewe

Just So is one of the earliest works by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, whose partnership would go on to give us Honk! and, with Cameron Mackintosh, Mary Poppins. 

Rudyard Kipling's fables and Stiles and Drewe's music are weaved into a high energy, fast paced show that explores identity and how we grow into who we are meant to be. Before high and far-off times, when the world was still very new, the animals of the jungle lived together in the ordered simplicity the Eldest Magician had made for them. Everything was, more or less, just so. Elephants had no trunks; leopards had no spots; the ocean stayed where it belonged. The jungle setting is fused with a concert inspired aesthetic where our talented and diverse young cast can embody this story about the courage and brilliance it takes to be truly authentic.
