Join Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the hip-hop Hippo, and those hilarious, plotting penguins as they bound onto the stage in the musical adventure of a lifetime! Based on the smash DreamWorks animated motion picture, Madagascar – A Musical Adventure KIDS follows all your favorite crack-a-lackin’ friends as they escape from their home in New York’s Central Park Zoo and find themselves on an unexpected journey to the madcap world of King Julien’s Madagascar.
Alex the Lion is the king of the urban jungle and the main attraction at New York’s Central Park Zoo. He and his best friends, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, and Gloria the Hippo, have spent their whole lives in blissful captivity before an admiring public, with regular meals provided for them. Not content to leave well enough alone, Marty lets his curiosity get the better of him and makes his escape, with the help of some prodigious penguins, to explore the world beyond the zoo.
Filled with outlandish characters, adventure galore, and an upbeat score, Madagascar KIDS is a fun-filled musical adventure for the whole family that will leave audiences with no choice but to “Move It, Move It!”
