SHREK THE MUSICAL, based on the Oscar®-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favorite ogre to life on stage. Featuring a terrific score of 19 all-new songs, big laughs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, SHREK THE MUSICAL tells the story of a swamp-dwelling ogre who goes on a life-changing adventure to reclaim the deed to his land. Joined by a wise-cracking donkey, this unlikely hero fights a fearsome dragon, rescues a feisty princess and learns that real friendship and true love aren’t only found in fairy tales. SHREK THE MUSICAL is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!
My 12-year-old daughter and I saw the show and it was INCREDIBLE! We laughed and sang the entire time. The costumes were adorable and the cast was phenomenal. 10/10 recommend.
Just as many others have reported, this show is good and succeeds only because of the quality of actors and the band. The sets and costumes are high-school level and a massive disappointment.
Performers were good but venue too large--left at intermission!
It felt like something a high school production would have put on. The cast had AMAZING voices but everything else with the play wasn’t great. Shrek doesn’t have hair, in this production he has hair. It was just a super let down.
It was a fun show and the cast did well! The reason for 4 stars could be more venue related. There was a delay opening the doors and the show started about 20 minutes late. Overall, glad we went!
The actors were quite good with strong voices. But the staging was very amateurish. Looking at some other traveling productions on YouTube, the donkey costume was especially poor.
Cast and crew were great , but costumes, stage appearances were not worth what they charged for tickets. Local theater groups or high schools have higher standards for their appearance and stage props. Wearing hats that can be purchased a local store to try and meet the appearance of the characters added low quality to the show.
We bought tickets for my sister’s 13th birthday. She knows every word to this musical. She had a blast! The cast was amazing. The actor who played Shrek almost had me in tears with his facial expressions. He sure can project his emotions. Plus Fiona killed it with her vocals. We were also a fan of Donkey. She sure has range! Absolutely worth every penny.
Although the actors and orchestra was incredible, this adaptation was terrible! If I wanted to see a community theatre production of Shrek, I would've gone to my local high school. Do not pay these professional prices for this terrible production. They cut a lot of the songs and the jokes. The set and costumes were terrible along with this whole adaptation. Do not waste your money.
We performed Shrek the Musical in high school and it was such a fun show. I’ve listened to the soundtrack for years and watched the recording of the show several times when they had it on Netflix. This show was disappointing. So many changes to the original. Entire storylines left out (Lord Farquad’s backstory being Grumpy is his dad), songs left out, and the weird puppets used in place of kid Shrek, mom and dad Shrek, and the younger Fiona’s. I know it’s today is one of the most iconic scenes from the show and it was ruined by using weird puppets. Not to mention there were hardly any set pieces. Where was the castle walls shown in the backgrounds of the images posted on the website?? I feel the site was very misleading for what the show was. The only ready I’m giving 3 stars is the two people I brought with me had not seen the original and had no idea what they were missing so still enjoyed it. Was it an absolutely terrible show? No. But for anyone who knows what it was supposed to be, it’s going to be disappointing.
