4th & 5th Grade School Play

 

 

LES PTA is lucky to be partnering again with the one and only Town Hall Education to bring you this year’s musical: Madagascar - A Musical Adventure Jr.!!!

 

Join Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the hip hip Hippo and, of course, those hilarious, plotting penguins as they bound onto your stage in the musical adventure of a lifetime.  Based on the smash DreamWorks animated motion picture, Madagascar – A Musical Adventure JR. 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 Julien’s Madagascar.  Filled with outlandish characters, adventure galore and an upbeat score, Madagascar JR. will leave audiences with no choice but to “Move It, Move It!”

 

This year we will be offering 3 performance casts AND 3 stage crews, if your student prefers something more behind the scenes.  Rehearsals take place in the Multi-Purpose Room at LES, immediately after school.  Dress Rehearsals and Performances take place across the street from LES at Town Hall Theatre: 3535 School Street.
