DreamWorks Theatricals and Broadway Across America have partnered to launch “Madagascar Live,” DreamWorks Theatricals’ first-ever live family touring show. The companies expect the show to visit more than 70 cities across the United States, beginning this January.
The 90-minute stage show will feature popular characters from the Madagascar series of movies, including Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo, King Julien, and the Penguins.
“Madagascar Live” is being directed by Gip Hoppe, director of “Dora the Explorer Live.” Kevin Del Aguila is writing the show, while David Gallo is serving as the show’s scenic designer, Gregg Barnes is the costume designer, and Joel Someillan and George Noriega are the show’s composers and lyricists.
