“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 treasure trove of irreverent fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.
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 side-splitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. It 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.
