"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. Luckily, there's one on hand... and
his name is Shrek.
Based on the Oscar winning DreamWorks Animation
film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award winning
fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from
Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline,
or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you
know from the film to life on stage and proves there's
more to the story than meets the ears.
