Madagascar Live

This weekend, Ian and I had the pleasure of taking our very excited two year old to see Madagascar.  All the kids were loving it,  dancing in the aisles, clapping and having a great time, whilst Alex, Gloria, Julien and Melman were rocking it on the stage.

I had read reviews where it said the show was nearly identical to the film, and on that I beg to differ.  There were differences, especially with the music.  I know this as we were watching the animation (for the 1000 time) immediately before we left for the World trade Centre, so my DD was shouting the entire journey, "I like to move it, move it." and again as we waited for the auditorium to fill.  That was the only dissapointment.  That song, made infamous in the movie with Julien (a.k.a. Sacha Baron Cohen) singing about how he likes to dance, was cut to the first few cords.  My DD and none of the other kids noticed though, and that is all that matters.

Here are just a few shots of the show.

Live Nation Middle East and DSS 2015 bring Madagascar Live! to the UAE

I have a very excited toddler right now as Madagascar Live is coming to Dubai!  Even better, it is on over the last weekend of August so perfect for summer.

Based on the blockbuster DreamWorks animation, will be an official event of this year’s Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS), the biggest summer celebration in the region. Madagascar Live! will be showing at Sheikh Rashid Hall, Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from Friday, August 28^th to Saturday, August 29^th; and will be taking audiences of all ages to a wild and action-packed adventure with two shows per day at 2:30pm and 7:30pm.

Madagascar Live! follows everyone’s favourite characters, Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo and the hilarious plotting penguins as they escape from their home at The New York Zoo and find themselves on an unexpected journey to the madcap world of King Julien. Relive the fun and humour of the animals and their escapades, brilliantly brought to life by an imaginative set and costumes, joyous dance numbers and spectacular songs including the hit, “Move it, Move it.”

“Madagascar is one of the biggest brands in family entertainment and Live Nation Middle East has been working for quite some months to ensure it comes to Dubai. It will certainly be one of the show highlights of the year and will be a perfect way for families to end the summer holidays,” says James Craven, Managing Director of Live Nation Middle East.

Madagascar Live!, which vividly brings to life the film audiences worldwide have grown to love in an arena production with West End values, is also a DSS 2015 official event. Get ready to “smile and wave,” as Skipper the Penguin puts it, dance in the aisles, “Move it, Move it”, and celebrate friendship with the zany crew of Madagascar Live!

Tickets are priced at AED 125 for Bronze, AED 175 for Silver, AED 225 for Gold, AED 350 for Platinum, and AED 650 for Royal. Tickets go on sale at 12 noon on Wednesday, July 22^nd and will be available via tickemaster.
