Madagascar - A Musical Adventure

Madagascar - A Musical Adventure at Coterie Theatre

When your best friend dreams of a world beyond the fence and you can't imagine leaving room service behind, somebody's heading for trouble. Madagascar - A Musical Adventure brings that friendship tug-of-war to the Coterie Theatre, where Alex the lion loves his celebrity at the Central Park Zoo and Marty the zebra marks his tenth birthday wishing for something wilder.

Marty's escape pulls Alex, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo into a chase none of them planned, landing the whole crew on an island where comfort and routine vanish overnight. The musical follows these four friends as they collide with King Julien, who sees Alex as the muscle he needs, and navigate a landscape that looks nothing like home. Songs including Wild and Free and Best Friends carry the story from zoo to jungle.

Meanwhile, the penguins execute their own Antarctica scheme, adding a separate comic thread to the adventure. Their single-minded escape plan runs parallel to the main action, layering in a different comic personality without derailing the stakes for Alex and Marty.

The Coterie presents this all-ages musical in Kansas City, running approximately sixty minutes and designed for families ready to watch comfort clash with curiosity. Get Madagascar tickets and enjoy the penguins’ determined Antarctic ambitions.
