Port Huron Civic Theatre will celebrate opening night for Madagascar the Musical Adventure Jr. at McMorran Place Theatre Friday night at 7 PM.
Sixty-four kids 18 and under have been rehearsing their lines, learning their songs, and perfecting their dance moves since June, and they are ready to share this hilarious show with the community.
Hayden Valliere plays King Julian, and she says she’s loving the role. “King Julian, he thinks he’s all about himself all the time, so I pretty much get special treatment. I get to be outrageous!”
The show is co-directed by Amy Fabick and Leah Tyrrell, choreographed by Jordan Frontierro and Michelle Elliot, and produced by Danyel Lloyd. The vocal director is Erin Moran, and the show’s student director is Caleb Hodgins.
Leah Tyrrell said preparing for the show has been fun, and they couldn’t pull it off without the support of their whole team, the kids, and the Port Huron Civic Theatre parents.
Tickets are available now on McMorran.com or the McMorran Box office. Shows are Friday and Saturday at 7 PM and Saturday and Sunday at 2 PM.
