Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek the Musical is a hilarious and fantastical fairy tale adventure that brings the movie’s beloved characters to the stage. Shrek is an ogre who enjoys a simple life living alone in his swamp. When evil Lord Farquaad banishes fairy tale misfits such as the Three Little Pigs, Pinocchio, and more, from the Kingdom of Duloc, they appear in Shrek’s swamp and disturb his peace. He is promised his home in exchange for freeing a princess who Farquaad desires for his wife. Shrek’s journey is aided by a wisecracking Donkey and many comical perils, plus the added mystery of a secret Princess Fiona has hidden from the world.

Featuring a side-splitting script and plethora of catchy songs, this big bold musical is a comical twist on classic fairy tales. An ogre of a story, Shrek the Musical is bursting with fun, heart, and adventure – an entertaining experience for all ages!
