The hit DreamWorks animated franchise, Madagascar, is now a live stage musical that will "Move It, Move It" to venues across the country from April 8 to July 1, 2023, as part of the 12-week tour. Join Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the hip-hop Hippo, and those hilarious, plotting penguins as they bound out of the zoo and onto the stage in this live musical adventure. The family-friendly musical features new original music and a colorful cast of larger-than-life characters from the iconic film. Tickets are on sale now for all stops on the tour. For more information, visit the tour's official website at www.madagascarontour.com.
The tour will open on "National Zoo Lovers Day" at the Union Colony Civic Center in Greeley, Colorado on April 8. After opening, the tour will escape the Rocky Mountains and head for the Midwest, South, Northeast - and all points in between - concluding in July in Columbus, Georgia.
Madagascar the Musical features everyone's 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.
