New family musical JUNGLE RUMBLE comes to the West End this February half term

New family musical Jungle Rumble, which features an inspirational message about working together to protect the Earth, will run this half term from 14-20 February at The Fortune Theatre in London’s West End.  

Featuring a fabulous line-up of West End performers, uplifting songs and thrilling choreography, Jungle Rumble tells the story of ancient elephant Eeli, shy zebra Zella and cheeky monkey Boo. They journey deep into the heart of the jungle on a fearless expedition to rescue Snow, the last white lion, from the evil Lord Braggard. 

Produced by Perform Productions, Jungle Rumble marks a natural progression for the highly-regarded drama school founded and run by Lucy Quick and Will Barnett, leading the way within the industry in making such a move. Perform runs children’s drama classes for ages 4-12 across the UK. Jungle Rumble, which is written and composed by Will Barnett, ties in with the students’ jungle theme this term, bringing stories and songs of the jungle to life on the West End stage.  

The cast of Jungle Rumble is Sharon Ballard as Eeli, Callum Evans as Ensemble, Darren Hart as Cheetah, Michael Lin as Boo, Carole Stennett as Snow/Ester, Ben Stock as Lord Braggard / Boss and Joy Tan as Zella.  

Jungle Rumble is directed by Susie McKenna, with choreography by Frank Thompson, design by Lotte Collett, lighting by Simisola Majekodunmi and sound by Tom Marshall.

Director Susie McKenna said: “I’m so excited to begin work on Jungle Rumble – and to bring a brand new family show to the West End. I’ve been a huge fan of Will and Lucy’s work so jumped at the chance to work with them on this. Excited too to be teaming up again with Frank Thompson and Lotte Collett (huge contributors to my Hackney Empire pantomimes over the years) and a top-notch cast - let’s hear the Jungle Roar!”
