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!

I had been looking forward to seeing "Shrek the Musical" for over a year, so my expectations were quite high. It did not disappoint! The show is filled to the brim with laughs and unforgettable songs sung by your favorite characters from "Shrek." Do not miss!
Five us us went, 3 adults and 2 children. (Two Grandmothers, Daughter and 2 grandchildren) All of us loved it, it was by far one of the best we've seen. My grandchildren kept thanking me all night and all the way home. For each of my grand daughters birthday every year for the last 3 years ( they are 8 & 10) the other grandmother and I take them to see a play in Chicago. This was their favorite by far!
It was awesome! This is my second musical and it was wonderfull
Our family went to see Shrek and loved every minute of it. The costumes & set were wonderful, but what really stands out are the talented performers. They present this tongue-in-cheek stage performance of the Shrek cartoon with adrenaline and passion. From the opening curtain to the closing performance of "I'm a Believer" we were completely riveted and entertained! Kudos to the cast on stellar vocal performances!
Shrek the Musical is absolutely entertaining and hilarious. My 10 year old couldn't stop laughing! The cast is so talented and the special effects were amazing. We may have to see it again.
Sherk the Musical was very amusing. Even though we haven't seen the original Shrek movie for a while it seems as though it follows the movie. All characters did a great job. The costumes and sets were very creative and colorful. This show is good for all ages! There is some adult humor and a few swear words...but not anymore than there was in the movie. Loved the reference to Lion King!
What a great show! I attended with my kids - who are all adults - and we laughed and laughed!! The music was wonderful and the performers were amazing. Everyone should go see this show. It is not just for kids!
My only regret is that I did not take my nephews and niece to see Shrek The Musical when they visited Chicago a few weeks ago. Wonderful music, costumes and scenery, along with some well-planned flatulence, would have been a GREAT evening out with the kids! Entertaining and FUN for boys and girls of all ages!
My husband and I thought the show was great. The 3 main characters were absolutely wonderful and if there is ever another run in Chicago, I would take other family members. Great job cast and crew!!
My 20 yo son and I saw Shrek. I regret not bringing my 16yo. I think this musical would be great for most ages. Singing was amazing. Not any "memorable" songs, but all the songs intertwined with the storyline seamlessly and they were fun songs. Were else can you see tap dancing mice? Many people walked out before the final song to beat the rush - stand up and clap along to fhe final number. It was the best number of the night.
Shrek the Musical was terrific!! What a joy for all ages, a great show for the entire family!! My 6-year-old was dying to go, and despite the price & awful traffic, we went to the matinee and really enjoyed all the songs, setpieces, costumes. The comedy was wonderful, I laughed the whole way through!! There are many funny lines, sharp comic timing, and a healthy irreverence...... the singing is good, very colorful, and Shrek himself was certainly the star!!! Big raves for the Fiona actress as well.....but I am so glad my little boy and I shared the time together downtown in the big city!!! Shrek himself delivered, and the entire production is a major winner--- what a prize!!! If you have the time and money, go---- you'll be surprised & very entertained!!!!!
This is not just a kid's show. Shrek was an all around excellent show. The cast was first rate. It was hillarious, it reminded me of the Producers...not the story but the type of musical. Every scene and song was great. There was something for everyone. I usually hate the peer pressure of the standing ovation but I was on my feet of my own free will.
I took my 2 little boys(ages 4 & 5) to see Shrek last night. It was the first musical for both. They loved it! Great story, great singing, sets, lighting, everything. Kids will love it and adults will be amazed!
The experience had two great happenings. The first was born out of the panic of lost tickets. I called ticketmaster to plead my case and talked to Tina who was an angel of mercy. She took care of me and assured me that my wife and I could still take our two grandsons to the show THANKS TINA The show was not only presented well by the cast members but displayed some very excellent technical stagecraft as well. We see 20 or so plays per year ,and I come from a stage background so may I compliment you and the entire production company on the best show we have seen this Year
Shrek the Musical was a delightful play. The singing and songs were great. Although there were a number of younger children in the audience, they were very well behaved. They had many moments of comedy and all the actors were just great! The characters were wonderful creations from the gingerbread man to the fire-breathing dragon....is was a very enjoyable experience.
It was great! I think it is a great show for kids as well as adults. The music was good and the added parts fit into the movie storyline perfectly. Really enjoyed it!
What a surprise! Well not really! I knew it would be good but I was knocked over by how GREAT it was. All the talented actors with such brilliant voices belting out fabulous songs and music. The "somewhat suttle" references to other musicals had me bent over with laughter and playing "Where's Waldo" throughout the performance. Donkey and Lord Farquaad............soooooooo funny, sooooooo well acted!!! I just wanted Donkey to hit me with.... "and in the mornin' I'm makin' waffles!!!!" It's well written and extremely well performed yet the theater was darn near empty...hey theater-goers, ya don't know what you're missing. But take small children to a matinee. I left as a true "Believer"...and would definitely go back again.
it was a wonderful show. the ending was energetic and fun. my hands hurt from clapping so much!!! Brilliant!!!
I viewed Shrek the Musical in Chicago with a preteen, middle aged person & senior citizen & we all throughly enjoyed it! I'd recommend seeing this musical!
