User Review: 14Oct11: I have just been to see this production and although I appreciate the hard work that has gone into putting on a performance like this, I really feel it could have been made a lot more child friendly. I went in a group with 6 children aged 3 up to 12 and unfortunately not one of them enjoyed it. The start of the show was quite dark and scared the little ones, the costumes were a little too ‘artistic’ and the children couldn’t relate to the characters and they didn’t sing any Jungle Book songs, especially Bea
