The Vern Riffe Center for the Arts (VRCFA) at Shawnee State University will host “Madagascar, The Musical” on Monday, May 15. The performance will begin at 7 p.m. and will be held in the Eloise Covert Smith Theater of the VRCFA.

Based on the blockbuster DreamWorks film, “Madagascar, The Musical” follows all of your favorite crack-a-lackin’ friends as they escape from their home in New York’s Central Park Zoo and find themselves on an unexpected journey to the madcap world of King Julian’s Madagascar. Filled with outlandish characters, adventure galore and an upbeat score, this show will love audiences of all ages with no choice but to “Move It, Move It!”

Alex, the lion, is king of the urban jungle, the main attraction at New York’s Central Park Zoo. He and his best friends, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hip hip hippo, have spent their whole lives in blissful captivity before an admiring public and with regular meals provided for them.

Not content to leave well enough along, Marty lets his curiosity get the better of him and makes his escape, with the help of some hilariously plotting and prodigious penguins, embarking on a musical adventure of a lifetime to explore the world.
