Madagascar Adds Melbourne and Perth Seasons

The international touring production of Madagascar - The Musical heads into Melbourne and Perth after it opens in Sydney in December.

Adapted from the DreamWorks animated motion movie, this family musical has performed to sold-out audiences across the UK and New Zealand. It is brought to life by imaginative and colourful sets, world-class puppets, action-packed adventure and new songs that will inspire everyone to “move it move it” in the aisles! 

“We are absolutely thrilled to be bringing our first theatre production to Australia, with one of our favourite family titles – Madagascar - The Musical . We’ve loved producing this show all over Europe and Asia and have had hundreds of thousands of patrons enjoy being swept up in the adventures of Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria - based on the well-loved Dreamworks movies,” said producer David Hutchinson, CEO, The Path Entertainment Group.

“I’m very grateful to my producing partners at GMG Productions and Jones Theatrical Group for working hard over the past two years to bring this show to Australia – and look forward to opening in Sydney and then to Melbourne at the beautiful Comedy Theatre in January followed by Perth’s Crown Theatre,” he added.

Just like the movie, Madagascar - The Musical  follows all the favourite 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 hip hip hippo – have spent their whole lives in blissful captivity before an admiring public without a care in the world. Or so they thought.

Not content to leave well enough alone, Marty lets his curiosity get the better of him and makes his daring escape – with the help of some plotting penguins – to explore the world.
