Every child and young person has the right to be safe, for their voice to be heard, and to be able to participate in decisions affecting them. We pay respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait children and young people, and their rich and enduring connection to family, country and story telling. We recognise the need to be inclusive of all children from any and diverse cultures and backgrounds, such as those who are linguistically diverse, unable to live at home, living with disability and/or chronic health conditions, and LGBTIQA+.

Keeping children and young people safe is everyone’s responsibility at Crew. Musical Theatre Crew policies guide and support everyone involved - tutors, volunteers, students and families - to understand and put into practice the National Child Safe Principles.

GO WILD & MOVE IT to grab your tickets for this fun, hilarious show!

Join Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo, and Melman the Giraffe as they swap city life in the Central Park Zoo for a wild adventure!

When a group of mischievous penguins break out of the zoo, Marty follows them onto the streets of New York. Worried for Marty’s safety, his Zooster friends set out to bring him home only to all end up tranquilised and on a boat! Dropped overboard in crates when the penguins take over the boat, the Zoosters wash ashore on the island of Madagascar. Enter the hilarious King Julien and his tribe of lemurs pursued by the scary Foosa and Marty’s dreams of adventure and going wild are delivered!

Packed with catchy songs, dancing animals, and laugh-out-loud moments, this musical is a fun-filled journey about friendship, freedom, and finding your true home.

As King Julien says, “Move It! Move It!” and grab your tickets for the best party in town!
