Broadway On Demand (BOD) is the video-on-demand platform committed to LIVE theatre. This is a filming of the 1st Preview performance of the World Premiere production of Jungle Book in 2018, at Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota, Florida. In our theatrical adaptation of the works of Rudyard Kipling, immersive sound and multimedia transport you from the urban jungle to Mowgli's childhood in the jungles of India. Eye-popping video, shadow-play, and original music make this family production of Jungle Book "A MUST-SEE" (Broadway World), and "like stepping inside a beautifully illustrated children’s storybook. It’s a MAGICAL experience!" (Sarasota Observer).
