StarCentral Kids Review: Madagascar The Musical Is a Wild Party You Can’t Miss!

Get ready to clap your hands, tap your feet, and maybe even dance in the aisle — because Madagascar The Musical has come to life on stage, and it’s even more colourful, funny, and exciting than the movie!

During the July school holidays, we joined Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, Gloria the Hippo, and the hilarious King Julien for a big, musical adventure. They start off in Central Park Zoo, where life is comfy and safe… but Marty dreams of exploring the big, wide world. When he escapes, his friends follow — and before they know it, they’re on a crazy trip that lands them in the jungles of Madagascar.

From the very first song, the music is so catchy you can’t help but bop along. Alex has big Broadway-style numbers, Marty’s full of energy and fun, Gloria’s got sass and warmth, and Melman… well, Melman is one of the funniest characters of all, with his long giraffe neck and silly, nervous personality. And then there’s King Julien — short in height, huge in personality! He’s the party king who gets everyone dancing to “I Like to Move It, Move It,” and trust me, you’ll be singing it for days.

One of the coolest things about the show is the costumes and puppets. The actors look just like the animated movie characters, right down to Alex’s mane, Marty’s stripes, and Gloria’s tiny tail and ears. The penguins are puppets — but you’d swear they’re real! The puppeteers are so talented, they make the penguins walk, talk, and dance their way through the story, even steering the ship that takes everyone to Madagascar.

Melman’s costume is extra clever — the actor operates his long neck and head with a stick and strings, so his face can sing at shoulder height while the giraffe head bobs and moves above him. It’s so funny to watch, and it really brings the character to life.

The dancing is amazing too. Some of the costumes are huge, so the choreography has to match what each character can do — but it’s still packed with energy and movement. Every number is full of colour, rhythm, and laughs. Even if you’ve never seen the movie before, you’ll be swept up in the fun.

At its heart, Madagascar The Musical is about friendship, freedom, and finding where you belong. It’s perfect for preschoolers and primary school kids, but parents and older siblings will have a great time too. There are plenty of jokes, heaps of action, and enough toe-tapping tunes to make the whole family smile.

So, whether you’re already a huge Madagascar fan or this is your first time meeting Alex, Marty, Gloria, Melman, and King Julien, this show is a must-see. It’s bright, it’s funny, and it’s bursting with life. By the end, you’ll feel like you’ve been on your own holiday to the jungle — and you’ll definitely want to get up and “Move it, Move it!” one more time.

Download NowIn the ever-evolving world of fashion, a rising star is beginning to capture attention for all the right reasons. At just seven years old, Avayiah Lotomau Pati is quickly establishing herself as one to watch. With natural poise, fearless talent, and a passion well beyond her years, she is carving her place as an emerging model in the industry.

More than just a pretty face, Avayiah brings confidence, charm, and humility to everything she does. Her story is one of quiet ambition and graceful determination—qualities that continue to endear her to audiences and industry professionals alike.

Avayiah’s journey to prominence began early, gracing the runways of some of Australia’s most notable fashion events. Her first major break came with TopModel Australia, a platform known for highlighting the best up-and-coming talent. It was here the fashion world first took notice of her incredible stage presence and mature confidence.

Since then, Avayiah has appeared in a number of standout shows including Junior Runway Fashion, DJ Jazzy, DTR, Kidz Fashion Week, Twinkle Toes Runway, Asian Fashion Festival, and Winter Glam. Her ability to bring life to each look and adapt to different styles has quickly made her a favourite among designers and fashion enthusiasts.

What sets Avayiah apart is her connection with the audience. Whether it’s a playful smile on the Twinkle Toes runway or a fierce strut during Winter Glam, she has a rare ability to captivate and communicate emotion through her walk.

While her modelling career is on the right track, it was her first crowning moment that revealed another layer of her character. At the Twinkle Toes Pageant, Avayiah was awarded the title of Queen—an honour she accepted with both pride and humility. More than a celebration of beauty, the title recognised her hard work, dedication, and perseverance. For Avayiah, it marked a turning point—proof that with the right mindset, anything is possible.

Despite these early achievements, Avayiah remains grounded. She often speaks about the importance of staying true to yourself, no matter how much success comes your way. Her positivity, compassion, and authenticity have made her a role model for many young girls. She is passionate about encouraging others to embrace their uniqueness and walk their own path.

Avayiah’s ambitions extend far beyond the runway. As her modelling career continues to gain momentum, she dreams of a future where she can combine her love of fashion with her passion for helping others. Her long-term aspiration is to become a paediatrician, believing that caring for others is just as powerful as making them feel beautiful.

In addition to this, Avayiah has her sights set on the world’s biggest runways, with dreams of becoming an elite supermodel. One of her personal missions is to inspire young girls to believe in themselves and chase their goals with confidence. In her words: “Walk and own the runway with confidence and grace.”

It’s clear that Avayiah’s journey is only just beginning. With her vibrant personality, strong work ethic, and unwavering vision, she is destined to break barriers and exceed expectations. Whether she’s donning a crown, walking the catwalk, or studying to become a doctor, Avayiah is proving she is more than a trend—she’s a force for good with a heart of gold.

Supported by her model coaches, Kristina of Kristina’s Klassics and Emmy Gelardi-Bunyi – one of StarCentral Magazine’s prominent models, along with a dedicated team, Avayiah’s journey continues to inspire. Her infectious spirit and commitment to spreading positivity make her a true shining star. Keep your eye on Avayiah—her star is only rising.
