Kids Wanted For "Madagascar: A Musical Adventure JR"

Alex is a lion and the main attraction at the Central Park Zoo and undoubtedly “The King of New York City.” He’s a fun-loving fella whose devotion to steak is matched only by his devotion to his friends. A great singer and actor, but most importantly, someone who has that magnetic quality of a showman.

Marty is a zebra with dreams of exploring beyond the confines of the Central Park Zoo and into the wild. Marty needs to be an actor the audience can root for and a perfect complement to Alex.

Gloria, the hippopotamus, is a bold young lady with a maternal streak that shines when she’s with her three closest friends: Alex, Marty and Melman.

Melman is a kind-hearted giraffe who is a bit of a hypochondriac. He’s always just a little bit nervous, but when it comes down to it, he’ll rise to the situation. Melman must sing well, but more notably, needs to carve out this comedic part with strong acting.

(Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, Private)– The Penguins are a group of birds on a mission – bust out of the zoo and return home to Antarctica. Skipper serves as the captain of the group, giving orders with ease and command. Kowalski is Skipper’s second-in-command and a dutiful one at that. Rico is the brute of the group and can karate chop anything in sight. Private’s primary job in the group is to maintain the cute and fuzzy disguise.

The Zookeepers introduce the crowds to all the sights and attractions of the Central Park Zoo.

Mason is a chimpanzee with a bone to pick – though highly intelligent, his species seems to get a bad reputation for being simpleminded, and he takes that quite personally. Requires an actor who can make bold choices from the get-go. (Non-Singing Role.)

The Lemurs are a wild band of creatures native to Madagascar trying desperately to avoid being eaten by the cat-like creatures called the Fossa.

King Julien is their leader and needs an actor/ comedian who can sing, dance, act and has intuitive comedic timing.

King Julien’s assistant who is not so welcoming to Madagascar’s new inhabitants. This actor must convey distrust and disinterest while still being a powerful second-in command to King Julien.

The littlest of the Lemurs and can barely speak. Mort is young, small, and sweet and possesses a sense of comedy.

Fun role for actors with bold personalities.

The Fossa are cat-like predators with an appetite for Lemurs! The Fossa Leader is the biggest and baddest of the Fossa and is feared by most of the creatures in Madagascar. This actor has a great imagination for creating a larger-than-life creature who can strike fear with one look. The rest of the Fossa create a dominating pack of predators.

Imagined servers in Alex’s dream when he starts to desire meat desperately!

The Lionesses are a group of lady lions and Alex’s background singers and dancers. Fierce and sassy!

A group that is essential for setting up the world of the Central Park Zoo.
