SHREK THE MUSICAL
Based on the DreamWorks Animation Motion Picture and the Book by William Steig
Everyone's favorite ogre is back in the hilarious stage spectacle based on the Oscar-winning, smash hit film.
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.
"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.
A Packemin Productions and Riverside Theatres production.

The musical was amazing and funny! Lord Farquaf (not quite sure on the spelling) character was the best! The music was great and a must see!
An amazing show. We thoroughly enjoined it, and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the movies.
My kids went to the show and really liked it. They laughed out loud...many times through out the show.
It was amazing and it kept you glued to your seat. I was so thrilled with the way that the children reacted to the characters.
My 3 year old LOVED this, and so did my husband and I. A lot of adult humor, just like the movies, but enough of the kid stuff for my toddler to also enjoy her favorite parts (she has these movies memorized.)
Extremely entertaining! A++++ very funny show, and the singing was great!
Better than the Broadway Performance! The new song "Forever" was unforgettable, and the Dragon was very realistic! A MUST SEE!
