Madagascar - A Musical Adventure

Madagascar - A Musical Adventure at Coterie Theatre

When a zoo celebrity faces a best friend who dreams of running wild, something's got to give. Madagascar – A Musical Adventure at the Coterie Theatre brings Alex the lion and his Central Park Zoo friends to Kansas City in a story about loyalty tested by wanderlust.

Alex loves his comfortable life: adoring crowds, regular meals, everything a lion could want without lifting a paw. But Marty the zebra turns ten with a wish that changes everything. He wants to see what exists beyond the fences, to experience freedom he's only imagined. When Marty bolts, Alex doesn't hesitate—he follows, along with Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo. The penguins, naturally, have their own Antarctica agenda.

Madagascar throws the friends into unfamiliar territory just when they need each other most. King Julien immediately wants Alex's protection, adding a new complication to their arrival. The musical features songs including Wild and Free and Best Friends, and runs approximately sixty minutes for all ages.

The Coterie presents this production based on the DreamWorks animated film, with book by Kevin Del Aguila and music and lyrics by George Noriega and Joel Someillan. Alex must navigate a world without zookeepers while Marty discovers whether the wild matches his dreams.
