JUST SO STORIES
Adaptation and lyrics by R. Rex Stephenson
Music and lyrics by Emily Rose Tucker
Widely flexible cast (14 or more)
Script: 60 pages
Rudyard Kipling's dramatic and entertaining stories about how the Camel got his hump, how the Elephant got his nose, how the Whale got his spout, and other richly woven tales come to life in this engaging musical. Mr. and Mrs. Kipling and their two bubbly yet unpretentious daughters serve as narrators. The story weaves from animal tales to the final human one, how Man--or in this case an enterprising young girl!--wrote the first letter. Especially engaging is the two-person whale which is a great theatrical device. The show opens with the song, "When the World Was Brand New," and features other humorous and rhythmic tunes as "The Whale With a Whale of an Appetite," "An Elongated Nose that Looks Like a Hose," and "Firstest Friends." Easy to produce, this whimsical musical is sure to charm everyone. (Non-musical version available as "Kipling's Just So Stories.")
