5 Reasons To See Mowgli – The Jungle Book Ballet This Weekend!

Our production of Mowgli – The Jungle Book Ballet is opening at the Hult Center this weekend so we wanted to give you five reasons why you can’t miss this incredible ballet. 

1: Larger-Than-Life Characters 

To bring Shere Khan the Tiger and Kaa the Snake to life, two larger-than-life puppets were constructed using lightweight metal, sturdy foam and lots of fabric. Shere Khan needs two dancers to come to life, while Kaa the Snake requires eight dancers!

2: Incredible Sets 

Eugene Ballet’s spectacular indoor jungle was created by of Gregory Crane, an Emmy Award-winning set designer. The set features two large rolling platforms for fast and easy scenery changes.

3: Breathtaking Costumes 

There are more than 70 stunning costumes in Mowgli – The Jungle Book Ballet and one of the most complicated is seen here, Mao the Peacock. It features two tails: a dancing tail and a display tail (at left) bejeweled with more than 5,000 crystals.

4: Family-Friendly Fun 

Mowgli – The Jungle Book Ballet features well-known characters from the classic children’s tale. Bring the entire family to experience the magic of young Mowgli’s life in the jungle and don’t forget to stay and meet the dancers after the show in the Lobby! 

5: $15 Youth Tickets Available
