Our mini reporters Cecelia and Tavayah were invited to the press evening of Madagascar The Musical at the Manchester Opera House and bring you their reviews in this video, as well as an exclusive backstage interview with CBBC and Strictly Come Dancing star Karim Zeroual as King Julian.

Join Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria and those hilarious, plotting penguins as they bound onto stage in the musical adventure of a lifetime.

Filled with outlandish characters, adventure galore and an upbeat score, you’ll have no choice but to “Move It, Move It!”.

The animals are out of the zoo and coming to a theatre near you! Grab your tickets now!
