He said: “I’m really excited, I love the film dearly, it’s one of my favourites,” Karim said. “King Julien is such an iconic character. Theatre is actually my one true love – I trained at theatre school and started my career in the West End. I’ve been doing a lot of TV recently so coming back to theatre feels like coming home There’s nothing like a live audience in front of you… I can’t wait.”
