Marty

Marty is a zebra with dreams of exploring beyond the confines of the Central Park Zoo and into the wild. Marty is a solid singer and actor who also possesses a sweet disposition. You audience will want to root for Marty, the perfect complement to Alex.

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. She is the caretaker of the group.

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. Pick a performer who can sing well but more notably, can carve out this comedic part with strong acting choices.
