Are you ready to move it, move it? The Australian premiere of the international touring production of Madagascar the Musical landed in Melbourne's Comedy Theatre this month – there are plenty of mischievous penguins and raving lemurs to boot.
Adapted from the smash-hit 2005 DreamWorks animated movie, this family musical has performed to sold-out audiences across the UK and New Zealand. It is brought to life by colourful sets, world-class puppets, action-packed adventure and brand new songs.
Just like the movie, this musical follows a group of crack-a-lackin’ animal friends – Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo – as they escape from their home in New York’s Central Park Zoo and find themselves on an unexpected journey to the madcap world of the lemur king Julien’s Madagascar.
Smile and wave boys, and borrow some children if you must, because this sounds like a show to get suited up for.
This Selladoor Worldwide production is making its Australian debut with the help of the Path Entertainment Group and GMG Productions in association with Jones Theatrical Group. You can book tickets at the official website.
