“Ramayana!” The Musical

The 47th Annual Musical “Ramayana!” delights audiences once again at the Mexican Heritage Theater in San Jose, CA

Join Hanuman, the monkeys, Prince Rama and Prince Lakshmana, on their journey to Lanka in their quest to rescue Princess Sita in the 47th Mount Madonna School “Ramayana!”, a musical theater production adapted for modern audiences and replete with lively action, dazzling costumes, humor and universal life lessons.

The “Ramayana!” is an annual event in which the entire student body takes part. This magical theatrical production of drama, dance and song has been entertaining audiences for more than 45 years. In the preschool years students may begin by taking part in the ever-popular forest animal scene. Gradually they work their way through various small parts as dancers, singers, monkeys, demons, and martial artists until they finally emerge in the lead roles in their high school years. Behind the scenes, a large supporting cast of parents, teachers, alumni and Mount Madonna Center staff take on the roles of prop makers, costumers, makeup artists, technicians, musicians, stage crew, and concessionaires. This makes the “Ramayana!” our largest school event of the year.
