Madagascar Jr. Makes a Splash at Wilton Children’s Theater Production

The Wilton Children’s Theater (WCT) invites the community to embark on a musical journey with DreamWorks Madagascar — A Musical Adventure Jr., scheduled to run from November 18 to 20 at Middlebrook School (131 School Rd.). The production promises a captivating experience with 47 young actors in grades four to eight, showcasing their talents in singing, dancing, and remarkable costumes. Adapted from the DreamWorks Animation film, the musical unfolds the tale of a group of Central Park Zoo animals unexpectedly finding themselves in Africa. At the start, Marty the zebra contemplates celebrating his 10th birthday at the zoo alongside his friends Alex the lion, Gloria the hippo, and Melman the giraffe.

“Madagascar Jr. delves into themes of friendship, forgiveness, and teamwork, offering entertainment suitable for the entire family,” remarked producers Kaylie Vo Pham, Marie Demasi, and Meghan Russo in a press release. They also expressed their gratitude to the dedicated cast, crew, professionals, and parent volunteers who contributed to the production.

The show is under the direction of Skip Ploss, featuring musical direction by Barbara Speare and choreography by Wilber Escobar. The set design and construction were overseen by Brooke Burling and Vivian Lee-Shiue, with props coordination by Shannon Taliercio. Alissa Helgesen and Kim Biltoft were responsible for costumes and makeup. The production benefits from the expertise of Jim Durkin from In Phase Audio and Craig Gehr of LX Lighting LLC, as in previous years.

Tickets with assigned seating can be purchased online, and a limited number of cash-only tickets will be available at the door. For those who prefer to watch from home, livestream tickets are also offered. Due to high demand last year, advance ticket purchases are encouraged, with prices set at $15 for adults and $10 for students.
