Madagascar begins with Alex the lion, “The King of New York City” (or at least Central Park Zoo) living a blissful life with regular meals – his best friends Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe, and Gloria the hippo always by his side. When Marty can’t stop dreaming of being “Wild and Free,” the friends team up with a few penguin pals who specialize in espionage and embark on an unexpected journey to the madcap world of King Julien’s Madagascar. Life with the lemurs is all fun and games, until Alex starts to miss eating “Steak!” Filled with heartwarming friendships, adventure galore, and an upbeat score, Madagascar, will leave young actors raring to “Move It, Move It!” Broadway Performers is a no-cut program designed for middle school actors to level up by learning advanced performance skills as they bring Skyline musicals to life onstage.
