Madagascar - A Musical Adventure

Madagascar - A Musical Adventure at Coterie Theatre

When a zebra's wanderlust collides with a lion's comfortable routine, four zoo friends discover that friendship means following each other into chaos. Madagascar - A Musical Adventure brings Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria to the Coterie Theatre with songs, schemes and a lemur king who sees a lion as his ticket to survival.

Alex the lion enjoys celebrity status at the Central Park Zoo, where his meals arrive on schedule and his fans adore him. Marty the zebra turns ten and makes a wish that upends everything: he wants to see the wild. When Marty escapes, Alex, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo chase after him—but they're not the only ones with a plan. The penguins have mapped their own route to Antarctica, adding a second layer of comic ambition to the night's adventure.

All those schemes converge in Madagascar, where King Julien greets the arrivals with his own agenda. He wants Alex's protection, and his self-interested welcome complicates what the four friends hoped would be a simple reunion. Wild and Free captures Marty's dream, while Best Friends anchors the story in the bond that pulls these mismatched personalities across oceans.

This sixty-minute musical welcomes all ages to the Coterie in Kansas City. Choose Madagascar tickets and discover how friendship handles life beyond the zoo.
