Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks movie, Shrek the Musical adds 19 songs and plenty of great dancing and eye-popping stagecraft in turning the animated film into a live theater extravaganza that's fun for the whole family. The show tells the hilarious and heartwarming story of a giant green swamp-dwelling ogre who goes on a life-changing adventure to reclaim the deed to his land. Joined by a wise-cracking donkey, this unlikely hero fights a fearsome dragon, rescues a feisty princess and learns that real friendship and true love aren't found only in fairy tales.

Loved the show! Very funny, fun and impressive costumes and sets! My one warning is that this is NOT a child friendly show! It's very disappointing that people take their children to musical productions without first checking out the content. Yes, this is based on a children's movie, but they added in a lot of off-color jokes that are not appropriate for kids. Anyone who listens to the sound track will know this. That being said, I had a blast, and would love to see it again! :-)

Fantastic show~ was the 2nd time we saw it. Took my 4 yr old daughter who is already a "theatre geek" and easily sits through performances. Great acting/singing and the message is just wonderful. What a really FUN show! Not sure all 4 yr olds could sit through it, but it's definitely up to you to determine if your child is of age for it. Nothing suggestive or too adult. Just FUN!

Quotes & Highlights

Description

Shrek the Musical, based on the Oscar® winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favorite ogre to life on stage.

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 donkey who won’t shut up, a villain with a short temper, 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.

Featuring a terrific score of 19 all-new songs, big laughs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, Shrek the Musical is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!
