Montage Theatre's Summer Musical Theatre Course

An adaptation of Stiles and Drewe's musical comedy, Just So.
Week 1: 10am-2pm. 28th July-2nd August 2008
(See details of our full summer holiday programme below)

Before the high and far off times, oh my best beloved,
Long before the rhino had baggy skin
Or the leopard had spots
Or the kangaroo had bounce
Or the elephant had a trunk.
Came the time of the very beginnings

And that was in the days when the Eldest Magician was getting things ready

• How did the elephant get his trunk?
• How did the leopard get his spots?
• How did the rhinoceros get his skin?

These are just some of the riddles solved in this musical comedy!

Based on the immortal short stories of Rudyard Kipling, Just So takes you on a fantastic journey along the banks of Africa's great, grey-green, greasy Limpopo River to meet an amazing collection of strange and wonderful creatures.

Set to a eclectic, upbeat score, Kipling’s “Just So Stories” are woven with wit and imagination into a song-filled journey through the jungle. And you will be inspired by its underlying message -

That one determined individual
can make a real difference in this world.
