Join Alex (X-Factor 2016 winner Matt Terry), Marty, Melman and Gloria as they bound out of the zoo and onto the stage in Madagascar The Musical. Read more …
This smash hit musical features 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.
This brand new musical from Dreamworks (Shrek The Musical) will leave audiences with no choice but to ‘move it, move it’!
Ultimately, Madagascar the Musical is light, upbeat and polished, an entertaining family night out for adults and kids.
This might be a good way to introduce children to the world of theatre, but overall it just lacks the punch which could have turned it from an average show to a great one.
Its innovation lies not in its story or character, but in its mise en scène – puppetry, costume design and set. All of these work together with a host of talented individuals to offer a clean cut, simple yet deeply amusing production.
Succeeds in delighting the kids in the audience, while also offering a few good laughs for accompanying adults and a couple of foot-tapping songs for all the family.
Edinburgh Playhouse, Edinburgh from Tuesday October 2, 2018, until Saturday October 6, 2018. More info: www.edinburghplayhouse.org.uk
