About the event
Book, Music & Lyrics by Joe Slabe
Directed by JP Thibodeau
Choreographed by Mpoe Mogale
Musical Direction by Joe Slabe
In partnership with Forte Musical Theatre Guild
Rooted in the spirit of Kipling’s classic while boldly reimagined for today’s world, A Concrete Jungle Book is a contemporary musical originally conceived for StoryBook Theatre’s 40th season. Set within an urban landscape shaped by rules, hierarchies, and survival instincts, the story follows a young protagonist searching for identity, belonging, and family in a city that doesn’t always make space for difference. Featuring a driving modern score and rich ensemble storytelling, the piece offers performers dynamic characters, emotional range, and moments of both grit and heart. At its core, the show asks resonant questions for young people today: who decides where you belong, which rules are worth following, and how do you stay true to yourself while learning to stand together as a community?
