We caught a sneak peek of the new Busch Gardens Tampa new stage show "Madagascar Live! Operation: Vacation" Thursday May 16, 2013. The new stage show features characters from DreamWorks Animation’s Madagascar franchise.
The 20-minute musical show follows the antics of Alex the Lion, Gloria the Hippo, King Julien, Mort and the Penguins during a vacation adventure. The show features rock/pop music performed by a live band, and includes both classic and original songs.
The characters also do meet and greets.
The show takes place in the newly renovated, and now air conditioned, Stanleyville Theater. Additionally, co-branded merchandise exclusive to the parks, will be available.
During the weekend of May 18th and 19th, Busch Gardens will feature a park wide premier party.
