Madagascar - A Musical Adventure

Madagascar - A Musical Adventure at Coterie Theatre

A zoo lion who loves his celebrity status meets a scheming lemur who wants him for entirely different reasons—and four friends from New York discover that freedom looks different outside the comfortable routines of zoo life.

Madagascar - A Musical Adventure at the Coterie Theatre follows Alex the lion and Marty the zebra as their friendship faces its first real test. Alex thrives on applause and dependable meals at the Central Park Zoo. Marty blows out ten candles wishing for something wilder. When Marty bolts toward the unknown, Alex and their friends Melman and Gloria chase after him—only to find themselves stranded on an island where King Julien rules and immediately sees Alex as the perfect bodyguard. The lion who loved being adored suddenly faces a king with very specific plans.

The sixty-minute musical includes songs like Wild and Free and Best Friends, capturing the pull between comfort and adventure that splits the group. Marty craves open horizons; Alex wants his old life back. Both dreams collide in Madagascar, where the penguins have their own Antarctic escape scheme running parallel to everyone else's confusion.

Based on the DreamWorks film, this all-ages production brings jungle comedy and friendship-testing choices to Crown Center. Kevin Del Aguila wrote the book; George Noriega and Joel Someillan supplied music and lyrics.
