Madagascar - A Musical Adventure

Madagascar - A Musical Adventure at Coterie Theatre

Four zoo friends end up stranded on a tropical island, and only one of them is complaining. When Marty the zebra blows out his birthday candles and wishes for a life beyond the fence, his best friend Alex the lion doesn't see the problem—free meals, adoring crowds and a comfortable routine are all a celebrity needs. But Marty slips away to chase his dream of the wild, and loyal Alex, nervous Melman the giraffe and confident Gloria the hippo follow him into the night.

Meanwhile, a gang of penguins hatches its own plot to reach Antarctica, adding a separate thread of mischief to the chaos. The escape plans collide and scatter everyone to Madagascar, where King Julien sees an opportunity: if he keeps Alex happy, maybe this newcomer will protect the lemurs from danger.

Madagascar – A Musical Adventure brings Kevin Del Aguila's book and songs including Wild and Free and Best Friends to the Coterie Theatre, drawing from the DreamWorks animated film. The clash between Marty's restless spirit and Alex's love of zoo comforts drives the sixty-minute story, making it easy to root for friends who want completely different things. All ages are welcome to watch what happens when a wish for freedom lands everyone in unfamiliar territory.

The penguins' scheming, Marty's determination and Alex's confusion give Kansas City families plenty to enjoy. Get tickets for Madagascar and a birthday wish with unexpected complications.
