The Jungle Book Musical US Tour

Dear Supporter,

We are the only Hungarian bookstore in the United States and we also have a theater group named Pilvax Players. Our mission is to preserve our beautiful language and culture in the USA, moreover to create productions and spread our inspiration among the Hungarian-American communities.

Since we were successful in our original presentation of The Jungle Book (Hungarian musical with English subtitles) at the La MaMa Theater in New York last year, we are now preparing to continue the further adventures of this great Hungarian musical across America.

Last year we had some generous sponsors who received wonderful advertising opportunity in our Playbill, also on our Web site and Facebook pages.  We also produced a documentary about the making of the show which will be shown on one of the most important channels on Hungarian Television in Hungary. They are very interested in getting the next episode about our tour and the cultural connections to the Hungarian-American communities and to the American audience across the United States. 

This year we have an opportunity to make a US Tour with this show to spread this excellent music and story through out American-Hungarian Communities and to all American children and adults in Boonton (NJ), Boston (MA), Washington (DC), Walnut Creek (CA) and San Diego (CA). These shows will be from April 21st to 30th in all these cities. We have arranged the theater spaces and the cast but we need support for our travel expenses (15 actors, 2 dancers, 2 technicians, 1 documentary film director).

We will be making a film about our mission to spread European musical and Hungarian cultural values and important messages about our relationships with nature, wild life and human values. Our show is not only an artistic mission. There is a very deep moral issue in our adaptation of The Jungle Book. Theatre is always about our surrounding world and often seriously critical. We believe in this moral issue of the theatre and art works. With your help we will support and make donation to help ensure a future for the earth's most magnificent creatures and the habitats critical to their survival.

We will have 6 shows:

April 21, 2017 - Boonton, NJ
April 22, 2017 - Boston, MA
April 23, 2017 - Washington
April 27, 2017 - Walnut Creeks, CA
April 30, 2017 - San Diego, CA (2 shows)

Your support for The Jungle Book and Pilvax Players Theater Group will help promote more diversity and inclusion of Hungarian American artists and stories in the local theatre landscape.

We are looking for sponsors who would like to be a part of our production and to get opportunities for advertising their support.

The Jungle Book

Hungarian Musical with English subtitles

by Pilvax Players Hungarian American Theater (New York)
& Jókai Theater of Békéscsaba (Hungary)

A very special new international interpretation about our modern society. The theater event will be in Hungarian (original language) with English subtitles.

The Jungle Book Hungarian musical adaptation was composed by László Dés, lyrics by Péter Geszti and Pál Békés. The musical was first performed in 1996 in Budapest (Hungary) and is still running today in many Hungarian theatres. It won the award from the Hungarian Theatre Critics as the musical of the year in 1996. Des’s mesmerising and unforgettable music and Geszti’s witty and unique lyrics magically depict a young boy’s journey into adult manhood while encountering friendship, cruelty, bravery, hatred, generosity, greed, revenge, and love.

The legendary story of Rudyard Kipling and has enfolded on stage on over 2000 nights in several countries in 20 years.

Our co-production by Pilvax Players Hungarian American Theater Company & Jókai Theater of Békéscsaba is a very special new international interpretation about our modern society. It is also about  human beings relating to nature.
