Just So is a musical by Anthony Drewe and George Stiles written in 1984 based on the Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling.

All of the animals did as the Eldest Magician asked except for Pau Amma the Crab, who would go out looking for food twice a day, causing large areas of the land to flood ("Another Tempest").

Once the cake is completed, Rhino leaps forward and rushes off with it, leaving the Parsee Man and the cooking stove vowing to get revenge ("The Crime").

The travelers feel they should warn the other animals, so they convince Giraffe and Zebra to join them ("Pick Up Your Hooves and Trot").

The Eldest Magician moulds and shapes the light beam to fall on the animals in such a way as to hide the giraffe and zebra.

The Eldest Magician introduces The Elephant's Child to the Kangaroo, who sings about how normal his legs used to be ("Aboriginally I Came").

He wanted, however, to be more powerful and so the Eldest Magician recruited the Dingo Dog to chase him, building up the muscles in the Kangaroo's legs ("Leaps and Bounds").

The Elephant's Child offers to show the Leopard and the Jaguar how they can change their skins too in exchange for his and the Kolokolo Bird's freedom.

The Parsee Man and the Cooking Stove enter in a boat made from an upturned Crab shell with the Rhino swimming close behind.

Act 1 Act 2 Main characters: Secondary characters: Ensemble: The 2005 production of the show was recorded with the Chichester Festival Theatre cast (including Julie Atherton, and Richard Dempsey) and also featuring John Barrowman as the Eldest Magician, and Anthony Drewe as the cooking stove, but it does not include all the numbers, particularly "Aboriginally I".
