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!
The overall show was funny and enjoyable the only downside was there were far to many small children under the age of 10 there and they were causing few ruckus times because they couldn't stand the 3hr time frame for the entire show. Other then that Looking forward to attending more shows at Hershey Theater as they come through town
Idk why I was expecting a broadway play level performance but this show felt like a local high school production. The orchestra was great and the singing voices too, there was some true talent there. But the production overall left something to be desired. This show is great for children, (yes I know it’s a kids movie, but so is Lion King and we all know how good that show is). This is not the professional theatrical production that you’d expect from a touring company. I only lasted 25 minutes and left. Bring the kids, they will enjoy it but it is not suitable for an adult night at the theater.
Fun. Kid and I really disappointed that a highlight of the musical soundtrack, Donkey’s “Don’t Let me Go” song was cut though. Also would have liked to have a Playbill of some sort to add to my collection.
Very good production! Great view from anywhere. We came from Philly but it was worth the drive and we plan to come back for shows in the future!
Clever re-imagining of the movie. Liked some of the stage gags, the cast was great, especially Fiona!
If you want to see a elementary school musical by adults and Shreks charm was pulled out of the movie you got this musical and I wish I could get my money back. It was terrible we didn't stay for the whole thing.
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.
