Are you ready to GO wild? First look at Madagascar the Musical which is
heading to Sunderland Empire in just one month for a roaring summer with Matt
Terry as Alex The Lion.
Based on the smash DreamWorks animated motion picture, Madagascar –
The Musical follows all of your favourite 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.
Since winning X-Factor, Matt has been non-stop. He’s been
recording music all over the world including Miami, LA and Scandinavia. After a
top 3 hit with Ed Sheeran penned winner’s single When Christmas Comes Around,
he released his debut album ‘Trouble’ in November 2017. His first single
from the album, Sucker For You has had nearly 60 million streams on

by featuring on Enrique Iglesias’s smash single, Subeme La Radio
alongside Sean Paul.
Matt will be joined by cast including Antoine Murray-Straughan, Timmika
Ramsay, Jamie Lee-Morgan, Shane McDaid, Laura Johnson, Jessica Niles, Victoria
