Based in the heart of Cardiff Bay, the Wales Millennium Centre stands as a beacon of architectural brilliance and cultural significance.

With its stunning design featuring slate from North Wales, timber from sustainable sources, and an eye-catching bronze-coloured dome, this iconic venue is a testament to the capital city's rich heritage and commitment to the arts. The Centre’s grandeur and unique façade make it a perfect setting for an evening of spectacular performances, and this time it’s Madagascar The Musical that’s taking the stage by storm.

Based on the beloved DreamWorks Animation motion picture, Madagascar The Musical invites audiences to join Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo, and those hilarious, scheming penguins on a theatrical adventure of a lifetime. This vibrant and energetic production captures the essence of the film, translating its magic to the stage with dazzling performances, catchy songs, and a story that resonates with both young and old.

The musical adventure emphasizes themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the importance of embracing new experiences, making it an ideal outing for the entire family. The show’s infectious energy and heartfelt message ensure that even the grown-ups will find themselves singing along and swept up in the fun.

Adding to the excitement is CBBC and Strictly Come Dancing star Karim Zeroual, who brings his charisma and comedic timing to the role of King Julien. His performance is nothing short of hilarious, and his rendition of the iconic song "Move It Move It" had the entire audience on their feet, dancing and laughing in delight. The atmosphere in the theatre was electric, filled with the sound of laughter and the joy of shared experience.

Running approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes with one interval, Madagascar The Musical offers a perfect balance of entertainment and engagement.
