We were really looking forward to watching Madagascar the musical, based on the familiar 2005 animation. The Regent Theatre was full, with lots of young and excited faces ready to see Alex the lion on stage. We have loved watching Madagascar over the years, and had high hopes for Madagascar the Musical – Live at the Regent.

Alex has some amazing best friends – Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo and they have spent their whole lives in captivity.

Madagascar the Musical – Final Thoughts
Madagascar the musical is a great family show and was definitely a huge hit with the younger children in the audience – our son absolutely loved it.
The songs were catchy, voices outstanding and choreography brilliant. For me, Alex the lion and Gloria the hippo stole the show, with beautiful vocals and wonderful stage presence.
Madagascar the musical is a story of unlikely friendships, loyalty, and escaping the ordinary. With vibrant costumes, great vocals and brilliant dance routines… you’ll have no choice but to “Move It, Move It!”
Tickets available now – but if the opening night is anything to go by – they will sell out fast…. get your tickets for Madagascar live at the Regent here.
