"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." and from there, the story of Shrek’s lifelong journey to be accepted and loved begins. Because of his unnatural, green appearance, he is misunderstood, bitter, and prefers to live in a swamp alone- that is, until all the fairy tale characters of the land crash his swamp after being banished by Lord Farquaad, the requisite bad guy. Shrek and his new tag-along, chatter-box pal Donkey will take you on a fantastical journey as Shrek tries to rid his solitary home of his many new roommates. An extraordinary array of colorful characters like Pinocchio, Three Little Pigs, the clever Gingy who is friends with the Muffin Man (do you know him?), and the feisty Princess Fiona will steal your heart- but can they win over Shrek’s? Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure you don’t want to miss. With some “got something in my eye” moments, endless grins, a few adolescent-style giggles and a heartfelt message of acceptance, this show will make you want to “let your freak flag fly!”
