Synopsis of Scenes

“The Bare Necessities”

“Look for the bare necessities,

the simple bare necessities;

forget about your worries and your strife.

I mean the bare necessities,

Old Mother Nature’s recipes

that bring the bare necessities of life!

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam,

I couldn’t be fonder of my big home.

The bees are buzzin’ in the tree

to make some honey just for me.

When you look under the rocks and plants

and take a glance at the fancy ants,

then maybe try a few.

The bare necessities of life will come to you.”

Director’s Notes

The story of Mowgli’s adventures in an Indian jungle were written by

Rudyard Kipling 111 years ago. Kipling was born in India, educated

in London, and was living in Vermont at the time he wrote “The Jungle

Book.” The short stories � rst appeared in magazines, thrilling its readers.

Adaptations of “The Jungle Book” have been made into at least

nine movies, two TV shows and two video games. The most popular

adaptation, and the one most of us identify with, is Disney’s animated

movie from 1967. Far from Disney’s best animation (many stock

backdrops were used, rather than individually hand-painted cells), and

considerably lighter in tone than Kipling’s original work, the characters

and songs proved to be a huge hit. For � rst time an all-star cast of voices

were employed for an animated � lm. Phil Harris and Sebastian Cabot

brought the fun-loving Baloo and wise Bagheera to life. While George

Sanders deep voice lent frightening sophistication to the role of Shere

Khan, and Louie Prima’s big band style dazzled us as King Louie.

North Star is itself a delightful jungle, and we’ve had a marvelous time

singing and dancing as animals of all shapes and sizes. We hope to

recapture a bit of Kipling’s drama, and a dash of Disney’s magic; while at

the same time adding our own unique � avor to this adventure. Thanks so

much for traveling with us!
