Madagascar - A Musical Adventure

Madagascar - A Musical Adventure at Coterie Theatre

One loves room service and adoring crowds; the other dreams of wide-open plains he's never touched. When Marty the zebra blows out his tenth birthday candles, his wish sends four zoo friends tumbling from Central Park celebrity straight into the kind of freedom nobody planned for.

Madagascar – A Musical Adventure brings Alex the lion, Marty, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo to the Coterie Theatre in a roughly one-hour musical built for audiences who grew up with these characters and kids meeting them for the first time. Alex thrives on his zoo stardom and never-missed meals. Marty aches to run wild. That tension explodes when Marty bolts, pulling his friends—and a crew of Antarctica-obsessed penguins—into a chase that lands the whole crew on an island ruled by King Julien, who has plans of his own.

The stage adaptation features songs including Wild and Free and Best Friends, sharpening the question at the heart of the story: what do you do when the life you need threatens the friend you love? Alex wants Marty safe and fed. Marty wants horizons. Neither can win without losing something that matters.

Book your seats for this all-ages production in Kansas City and watch what happens when four best friends discover that home isn't always where you left it.
