The Making of Jungle Book reimagined: Act 2 - The Story.
Writer Tariq Jordan: “The book is so iconic that we know the audiences have expectations as soon as they step into the theatre”. He reveals that “we’ve taken all the favourite characters - Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera - but they’ve been completely reimagined. We’ve brought it to a city, with this idea of what would it be like for these animals, these outsiders, to congregate in a manmade environment.”
Dancer Holly Vallis shares the story of their character Bagheera and how doing the voice-acting helped them to embody the panther even more.
