Madagascar - A Musical Adventure

Madagascar - A Musical Adventure at Coterie Theatre

A lion who loves room service and a zebra who dreams of open savanna don't usually clash—until one friend decides captivity isn't enough. Madagascar – A Musical Adventure brings Alex and Marty's friendship to the Coterie Theatre, where a tenth-birthday wish sets off a chain reaction that pulls a hippo, a giraffe and a pack of scheming penguins halfway around the world.

Marty bolts from the Central Park Zoo in search of something wild, and Alex has no choice but to follow. What starts as a rescue mission lands the whole crew in Madagascar, where King Julien has plans of his own. He wants Alex's star power for protection, and that complicates everything for four friends who just want to figure out where they belong. The musical leans into that tension—Alex craves his celebrity perks and predictable meals, while Marty can't shake his hunger for freedom.

The score includes Wild and Free and Best Friends, songs that push the story from Central Park's familiar gates to Madagascar's unfamiliar terrain. It's a sixty-minute adventure built for all ages, adapted from the DreamWorks film with book by Kevin Del Aguila and music by George Noriega and Joel Someillan. Recognizable characters, new complications—and a lemur king who never met a scheme he didn't like.
