<p>The number of West End productions coming to Norwich has certainly rocketed since Director Steven Crocker has taken over the helm. No longer just a summer phenomenon &#8211; Easter has it&#8217;s own family friendly production in the form of the <a href="https://secure.theatreroyalnorwich.co.uk/Online/default.asp?doWork::WScontent::loadArticle=Load&amp;BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::article_id=8CAD465B-C76A-4624-9DC2-23BE15BE4FE7">The Jungle Book</a>. You won&#8217;t be able to resist singing along to all the classics (much to the kids embarrassment). For those who don&#8217;t know the story, Mowgli the man cub battles for survival in this heart-warming coming-of-age story about a child raised by wolves in the jungle. With the help of his animal friends, including Bagheera the panther, Baloo the bear and Kaa the python, Mowgli outwits the cruel and powerful tiger, Shere Khan, and learns the law of the jungle. <em><a href="https://secure.theatreroyalnorwich.co.uk/Online/default.asp?doWork::WScontent::loadArticle=Load&amp;BOparam::WScontent::loadArticle::article_id=7046AA27-FC29-4C2A-80F7-C7FF3D66F4D0">Book tickets </a> £10 &#8211; £23</em></p>
<p>Added bonus &#8211; book the kids into a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/432546287178334/">Jungle Book workshop</a> on 12 April, where they&#8217;ll join the Jungle VIP and learn the Bare Necessities (see what I did there) of musical singing and dancing. <em>Call (01603) 63 00 00 to book a place, £20.</em></p>
