Shrek, a hilariously grumpy ogre, finds his swamp taken over by fairy tale characters who’ve been banished by the evil Lord Farquaad. In exchange for getting his swamp back, Shrek agrees to rescue the princess Fiona from a fire-breathing dragon so she can marry Lord Farquaad. Shrek reluctantly sets off to save Fiona with the hilarious talking donkey, Donkey. On their adventure, Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona all learn that appearances can be deceiving, and they learn the true meaning of friendship. The benign green ogre and his sidekick Donkey save the land from an evil lord and rescue a lovely princess from a terrible fate! Shrek is about accepting people for who they are, for tolerance, inclusion and not judging a book by its cover.
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.
