AUDITIONS FOR MADAGASCAR JR.
A MUSICAL ADVENTURE
The Un-Common Theatre Company is thrilled to announce auditions for our Young Performers Production of Madagascar – A Musical Adventure JR.
Join Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the hip hip Hippo and, of course, those hilarious, plotting penguins as they bound onto the stage in the musical adventure of a lifetime. Based on the smash DreamWorks animated motion picture, Madagascar – A Musical Adventure JR. follows all of your favorite 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.
Filled with outlandish characters, adventure galore and an upbeat score, Madagascar JR. will leave you with no choice but to “Move It, Move It!”

For all roles, please prepare 16-32 bars (30-60 seconds) of a song in the style of Madagascar JR. or other children’s shows. Please bring sheet music in the key in which you are singing for our accompanist. Please, no a cappella or backing tracks.
Rehearsals are scheduled on Sunday afternoons from 1:00-4:00 pm and Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30 pm in Foxboro and Mansfield. Not all cast members will be required to be at all rehearsals. A rehearsal schedule will be made once the show is cast. Extra nights may be added as the show nears production week. All conflicts must be listed on the audition form and will be taken into account during casting.
The production will take place May 1-3, 2026, with mandatory daytime school shows on Thursday, April 30.
Production Fee: $300 per cast member. This will be due at the first rehearsal. The production fees include a show t-shirt, professional pictures for downloading, and entrance for the cast member to the opening night party and the Sunday cast party.
Like most everything in the past few years, our expenses have gone up, as such, so have our cast fees. However, we at Un-Common believe that theatre should always be accessible. As such, we do provide scholarships. If this is the one thing keeping your child from participating, please just reach out to the show producers, no questions asked.
