CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
-
ALEX - Alex, the lion, is the main attraction at the Central Park Zoo and undoubtedly “The King of New York City.” He’s a fun-loving fella whose devotion to steak is matched only by his devotion to his friends.
-
MARTY - Marty is a zebra with dreams of exploring beyond the confines of the Central Park Zoo and into the wild.
-
GLORIA - Gloria, the hippopotamus, is a bold young lady with a maternal streak that shines when she’s with her three closest friends: Alex, Marty and Melman.
-
MELMAN - Melman is a kind-hearted giraffe who is a bit of a hypochondriac. He’s always just a little bit nervous, but when it comes down to it, he’ll rise to the situation.
-
THE PENGUINS - The Penguins are a group of birds on a mission: bust out of the zoo and return home to Antarctica. Skipper serves as the captain of the group, giving orders with ease and command. Kowalski is Skipper’s second-in-command and a dutiful one at that. Rico is the brute of the group and can karate chop anything in sight. Private’s primary job in the group is to maintain the cute and fuzzy disguise.
-
THE ZOOKEEPERS - Zookeepers Zelda, Zeke, and Zoe introduce the crowds to all the sights and attractions of the Central Park Zoo.
-
MASON - Mason is a chimpanzee with a bone to pick: though highly intelligent, his species seems to get a bad reputation for being simpleminded, and he takes that quite personally.
-
KING JULIEN - The madcap leader of the lemurs.
-
MAURICE - King Julien’s assistant who is not so welcoming to Madagascar’s new inhabitants.
-
MORT - The littlest of the Lemurs, who can barely speak.
-
THE LEMURS - A wild band of creatures native to Madagascar trying desperately to avoid being eaten by the Foosa, including Lynn, Lew, Lee and Lars.
-
THE FOOSA - The Foosa are cat-like predators with an appetite for Lemurs! The Fossa Leader is the biggest and baddest of the Foosa and is feared by most of the creatures in Madagascar.
-
SERVERS - Servers #1, #2 and #3 are imagined servers in Alex’s dream when he starts to desire meat desperately!
-
THE LIONESSES - A group of lady lions and Alex’s background singers and dancers.
-

Lyrics by Tim Rice
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Joseph is a dreamer, bestowed with a coat of many colors by his doting father. But when his eleven jealous brothers sell him, Joseph begins a journey of trials and tribulations that finds him mingling with Egyptian nobility, thrown behind bars, and even before the mighty but troubled Pharaoh himself. Never fear, when Joseph finds himself in trouble his powerful dreams are sure to get him out again. A beloved, unforgettable musical adventure from theatrical tycoon Andrew Lloyd Webber!
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN

JOSEPH – The eleventh son of Jacob. Obviously his father's favourite, Joseph early on shows a talent for interpreting dreams and telling the future. This gets him into trouble with his brothers when he predicts his future will include ruling over the other eleven. However, it saves his life when in Egypt he correctly interprets Pharaoh's dreams. In the end he has risen to a great position of power, but he still forgives his brothers and brings his family to Egypt to partake of the bounty he has accumulated there.

-
MRS. POTIPHAR – Indulgent and confident in her pursuit of what she wants, which at this time happens to be Joseph.
-
BUTLER – Pharaoh’s right hand. While in jail, Joseph interprets the Butler’s dreams to a positive outcome.
-
BAKER – Head of Pharaoh’s kitchen. While in jail, Joseph interprets the Baker’s dreams to a less-than-positive outcome.
