“KaTonga: Musical Tales From the Jungle” takes
you on a journey to the heart of Africa in a 35-minute musical
celebration of animal folklore. The show follows a day in the

become masters of their craft. To accomplish this rite of
passage, the performers evoke traditional African stories that
mesmerize and entertain! Masterful puppet design, magical
folklore, energetic original music and spectacular
African-inspired dance combine to create the first theme park
show of Broadway-production caliber.
