Those ‘bare necessities’

The jungle is jumpin' with a jazzy beat in Plaza Theatrical Productions stages Disney's “The Jungle Book KIDS,” adapted from the classic animated film. Share Mowgli’s adventures with his panther friend, Bagheera, on the run in the deepest parts of the jungle, Saturday and Sunday, on the Long Island Children’s Museum stage in Garden City.

On stage

Fairies mix it up with mortal politicians in the Gilbert and Sullivan Light Opera Company’s Theater’s staging of “Iolanthe or the Peer and the Peri.” It’s certainly not politics as usual as the affairs of state in fairyland take center stage, the tasty tunes take wing and hilarity takes the day in this snappy political comedy, Friday, 8 p.m., at Landmark on Main Street.
