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.  Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there is 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!

Shrek presents a treasure trove of creativeness, including costumes, sets, puppets (there is a fire-breathing dragon after all), and more! Irreverent fun for the whole family, Shrek, The Musical, proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.
