The Circuit Playhouse Presents MADAGASCAR

The Circuit Playhouse, in partnership with Amy Hertz, Robert Shankman, and super sponsor Dr. Thomas Ratliff, welcome the jungle to Memphis' professional theatre stage.

Based on the smash DreamWorks animated motion picture, Madagascar: A Musical Adventure follows Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the hip hop Hippo and, of course, those hilarious, plotting penguins as they escape from their home in New York's Central Park Zoo and find themselves on an unexpected journey of a lifetime.

Joining him on this family friendly adventure are Associate Company Members Danny Crowe (Tuck Everlasting, Peter Pan) as Melman, Kristin Doty (Little Women: The Broadway Musical, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder) as Rico, Ryan Duda (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) as Skipper, Kelly McCarty (Peter Pan, Tuck Everlasting) as Mort, Talen Piner (Sweat, Little Women: The Broadway Musical) as King Julien, and Michaela Tramuta (Peter Pan, Little Women: The Broadway Musical) as Kowalski.
