Move it, move it! to get your tickets to Madagascar Jr!
Looking for school holiday entertainment? One option this summer, bound to appeal to both young and old alike, is the adorable and crazy antics of the Madagascar crew - but this time, live on stage. Presented by local musical theatre group, Musikmakers, this upbeat one hour show features a young cast, singing and dancing their way through this now, well-known story. Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo and, of course, those hilarious, plotting penguins, bound onto the stage in the musical adventure of a lifetime.
Based on the smash DreamWorks animated motion picture, Madagascar - A Musical Adventure Jr arrives on stage just in time to provide much-needed entertainment in the middle of the longest holiday of the year. It follows the well-loved characters from the movie 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.
A January season of a children’s production has become an annual event at Riverlea Theatre, and seats sell out fast. Director Toni Garson is certain audiences will love Madagascar Jr as much as previous shows like Annie Jr, Aladdin Jr and Seussical Jr. “We have a great cast, and some of these young performers have had experience in several musicals. I’m sure that both children and adults will love this Disney classic.”
Filled with outlandish characters, adventure galore and an upbeat score, Madagascar Jr. will leave audiences with no choice but to "Move It, Move It!"
Madagascar – A Musical Adventure Jr is on from January 14 – 18 at Riverlea Theatre in Hillcrest, Hamilton. There are morning, afternoon and evening performances to choose from with tickets from just $15. All information and bookings at iticket.co.nz or phone the booking office on 0508 iticket.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
