Madagascar - A Musical Adventure

Madagascar - A Musical Adventure at Coterie Theatre

A lemur king with an agenda is an unexpected complication for four friends who are already struggling with life outside the zoo. Madagascar – A Musical Adventure arrives at the Coterie Theatre with Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman tangled in a comic disaster that starts with one birthday wish and ends half a world away from Central Park. Marty's longing to experience the wild pulls his best friend Alex—a celebrity carnivore accustomed to scheduled steaks—into a rescue mission that goes spectacularly wrong. The penguins have their own Antarctica scheme, and suddenly nobody's in Kansas City anymore.

What should be a simple reunion turns complicated when King Julien decides Alex might be useful. The lemur ruler wants protection, and Alex just wants his friends back together and his dinner on time. Songs including Wild and Free and Best Friends give voice to Marty's restless hunger for adventure and the bond that drags three worried animals into chaos on his behalf.

This sixty-minute musical lands the DreamWorks story onstage with book by Kevin Del Aguila and music by George Noriega and Joel Someillan. Designed for all ages, it delivers the mismatched dreams, unlikely alliances and Madagascar mayhem that turned a zoo breakout into something nobody planned.
