Madagascar - A Musical Adventure

Madagascar - A Musical Adventure at Coterie Theatre

A lion who loves his steak and his fans. A zebra who wonders what grass tastes like beyond the fence. When Marty decides his tenth birthday is the perfect moment to chase that question, his breakout from Central Park Zoo pulls Alex, Melman and Gloria into a journey none of them planned.

Madagascar - A Musical Adventure brings that clash of personality and habitat to the Coterie Theatre in an all-ages musical built for roughly one hour of adventure. Alex thrives on applause and predictable meals, while Marty's restlessness sets the whole escape in motion. Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo join the pursuit, but they're not the only ones with plans. The penguins have already plotted their own route to Antarctica, adding a separate comic thread that weaves through the larger scramble toward freedom.

The story lands everyone on Madagascar, where King Julien sees an opportunity in Alex's reputation. Songs including Wild and Free and Best Friends carry the tension between comfort and curiosity, between what these animals know and what they're about to discover. The musical draws from the DreamWorks film, adapted by Kevin Del Aguila with music and lyrics by George Noriega and Joel Someillan.
