Madagascar The Musical

Very soon the tour of Madagascar The Musical will open at the New Wimbledon Theatre. I was invited to take a sneak peek at rehearsals and catch-up with Matt Terry who is going to be playing Alex the Lion. Below are link details of the tour, rehearsal images and our chat.

Background

Based on the smash DreamWorks animated motion picture, Madagascar – The Musical follows all of your favourite 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.

Alex the lion is the king of the urban jungle, the main attraction at New York’s Central Park Zoo. He and his best friends – Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo – have spent their whole lives in blissful captivity before an admiring public and with regular meals provided for them. Not content to leave well enough alone, Marty lets his curiosity get the better of him and makes his escape – with the help of some prodigious penguins – to explore the world.
