Musical Theatre Workshop: Rocky of the Rainforest, Ages 7-11

Music and lyrics by Stephen Murray

Side-splitting slapstick tunes! Riotous jungle excitement! Jokes coming out of the trees! Film producer Larry Livermore is frantically searching for an unknown actor to play the lead in his next film, Archie of the Amazon. "We need a jungle man," sings the desperate Larry. When he's about to throw in the towel, he hears about a man living deep within the Amazon rainforest. With his devoted assistant, Kimberly, and Borneo Joe, a jungle guide, Larry penetrates the bush. He discovers Rocky, a wild man whose best friend is a gorilla named Ingagi! Though many have seen Rocky, such as animal trainer Betty Beatty, ecologist Dorothy Greener and Princess Aquacola and her hostile tribe, none has gotten close to him. Matters are confused more as explorer Osa Byrd appears, searching for the illusive Amazon Ghost Moth. She is with three teenagers who won the trip on a quiz show. (This is definitely different than the dining room furniture they expected!) The tune-filled finale is riveting as Aquacola plans to steam the intruders, creating a zesty brain broth. Will the jungle man be able to save them? Even with vicious jaguars and coiling anaconda snakes?
