Madagascar, an animated film by American production company DreamWorks, will be turned into a musical from October 19, 2024. The show, directed by Philippe Hersen, will be staged at the Théâtre du Gymnase .
For the first time,DreamWorks has given the rights to a French director. After the success of the musical Charlie et la Chocolaterie, Priscilla and Flashdance, Philippe Hersen is taking on a new challenge with the animated film Madagascar.
Released in 2005 and selling over 3 million tickets in France, the animated film Madagascar tells the story of Alex, a lion, and his mythical companions, who escape from a New York zoo to Madagascar. The musical is set to take us on a wild ride with Alex and his friends.
Following on from The Lion King, which is still playing at the Théâtre Mogador, Madagascar is an opportunity to discover a French production of the show. The musical has already toured in English in the UK, Ireland and even Hong Kong, with Kirk Jameson as director.
The Madagascar cartoon, with its famous "I Like to Moove it" soundtrack, is suitable for adults and children alike, and the musical promises to be a colorful spectacle!
Madagascar, the musical, opens at the Théâtre du Gymnase in Paris's 10th arrondissement on October 19.
