SHREK THE MUSICAL
The opening musical of our 2018 summer season!
Description
Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek is a Tony Award-winning and side-splitting fairy tale adventure with beloved characters that prove there’s more to the story than meets the ears. “Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek….” And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Shrek is fun for the whole family, and proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre! Directed by Shawn M. Mortensen. Music Direction by Brandalee Streeter. Choreography by Sunny Watts.
