Valley Road School recently brought the stage to life with its production of Madagascar Jr., delighting audiences with an energetic and heartfelt performance. Based on the popular DreamWorks film, the musical followed the adventures of Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe, and Gloria the Hippo as they journeyed from the Central Park Zoo to the wilds of Madagascar. From the colorful costumes to the lively musical numbers, every aspect of the show reflected the hard work and creativity of the students and staff.

Under the guidance of the directing team, Ashley Palma, Kellie Bonaccorso, Emma Gilardi, and our student volunteer Kylie Mignone, students spent months preparing—learning lines, rehearsing songs, and working together to create a polished and entertaining performance. Behind the scenes, crew members played an essential role in ensuring smooth transitions, set changes, and technical elements throughout the show.

The performances were successful with strong support from families, teachers, and staff. Madagascar Jr. not only provided a memorable theatrical experience, but also highlighted the importance of teamwork, confidence, and artistic expression within the VRS community.

VRS is incredibly proud of all the students and staff who contributed to the success of this production! We are so proud of all of our actors, actresses, stage crew, and set design!!!!
