Madagascar – A Musical Adventure JR. Auditions
About the Show
CCT's PB&J Players are bounding onto the stage with Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo, and those hilarious, plotting penguins in a musical adventure of a lifetime.
Alex is the king of the urban jungle, the main attraction at the Central Park Zoo. He and his best friends have spent their whole lives in blissful captivity, with an adoring public and regular meals. But when Marty's curiosity gets the better of him, a prodigious band of penguins helps him escape to explore the world, and the adventure is on.
Packed with outlandish characters and an upbeat score,
Madagascar – A Musical Adventure JR. will leave you with no choice but to "Move It, Move It!
