Madagascar A Musical Adventure Jr.
A Youth & Little Ones Workshop
Director: Nicholas Duisenberg
Choreographer: TBA (Tuesday Cast) & Jade Darte (Wednesday Cast)
Musical Director: Jennifer Vaughn
SUMMARY:
Join Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the hip hip Hippo and, of course, those hilarious, plotting penguins as they bound onto your stage in the musical adventure of a lifetime. Based on the smash DreamWorks animated motion picture, Madagascar – A Musical Adventure JR. follows all of your favorite crack-a-lackin’ friends 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 King Julien’s Madagascar.
Alex the lion is the king of the urban jungle, the main attraction at New York's Central Park Zoo. He and his best friends — Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo — have spent their whole lives in blissful captivity before an admiring public and with regular meals provided for them. Not content to leave well enough alone, Marty lets his curiosity get the better of him and makes his escape — with the help of some prodigious penguins — to explore the world.
*This Youth & Little Ones Workshop will have two casts (Tuesday cast and Wednesday cast). All dates and times for each cast are listed below.
*With Disney or other productions that we do not write ourselves, not every student will have lines. Those productions put more focus on an ensemble.
