Salty Brine Announces Extension of WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE

Salty Brine announces two added performances of his hit cabaret show, Welcome to the Jungle, as part of his cabaret series, The Living Record Collection. Welcome to the Jungle, inspired by Harry Nilsson's hit album Nilsson Schmilsson and Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, is currently running at Pangea (178 2nd Avenue) with performances on May 10, 17, 24, 31 and June 7. Performances have been added on June 14 and 21, with doors opening at 6:30pm and performances beginning at 7:30pm for all dates.

Every summer, deep in the woods of New Hampshire, campers gather around a towering bonfire; They howl like wild dogs, stamp their feet upon the dirt, and recite the Law of the Jungle. Salty Brine continues his Living Record Collection with Harry Nilsson's hit album, Nilsson Schmilsson, woven through the stories of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book like you've never heard them before. "Oh hear the call!- Good hunting all- that keep the Jungle Law!"

Welcome to the Jungle, created and performed by Salty Brine, is directed by Max Reuben with arrangements by Nate Weida and costume design by Heather McDevitt Barton. The show features performances by Emil McGloin, Shelby Phillips, Maya Sharpe, Nate Weida and Wes Zurick.

Advance tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at www.thesaltiestbrine.com.
