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.   

Alex the lion is the 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 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 alone, Marty lets his curiosity get the better of him and makes his escape — with the help of some prodigious penguins — to explore the world.

Filled with outlandish characters, adventure galore and an upbeat score, Madagascar JR. will leave audiences with no choice but to “Move It, Move It!”

"Quality Instruction in an Encouraging Environment"

Myrtle Beach ACT is a teaching theatre serving students ages 5–19. Throughout the year, MBACT offers classes in acting, singing, dance, and musical theatre, as well as production-based programs that culminate in live performances.

Students develop skills in performance, vocal technique, choreography, acting, teamwork, and stage presence while also gaining exposure to the many behind-the-scenes elements of theatre, including costumes, sets, and production design. Our goal is to help students build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong appreciation for the performing arts.

In addition to classes and productions, MBACT annually takes a select group of performers to the Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta, where students have the opportunity to learn from industry professionals and represent our organization on a national stage. We also offer week-long musical theatre camps throughout the summer for students of all experience levels.

Whether your child is brand new to the stage or looking to further develop their skills, MBACT provides a supportive environment where young performers can learn, grow, and shine.
