The greatest fairy tale never told comes to life in this fun-filled and hilarious musical comedy based on the hit animated movie.
In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre – not a handsome prince – shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a wisecracking donkey, villain with a short temper, cookie with an attitude, and over a dozen other beloved misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero.
Join the big, bright, life-changing adventure as a grumpy green ogre learns a lesson in acceptance, while finding unexpected friendships and surprising romance along the way. Whether you’re young or young-at-heart, Shrek The Musical is guaranteed to have you dancing in the aisles and laughing all the way home. Don’t miss it!
Recommended for ages 5 and up.
