Shrek the Musical

  • Family and kids
  • Theatre

Shrek The Musical captures the essence of the beloved animated film, bringing the characters you know and love to the stage with a fresh and exhilarating twist.

Join this epic adventure to a faraway kingdom turned upside down. An unsightly ogre (not a handsome prince) arrives to rescue a feisty princess. Add a talkative donkey, a 'short' tempered villain, an attitude-laden cookie, and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got a situation that only a true hero can fix. Fortunately Shrek, our knight in shining armour is here to save the day.

Based on the Academy award-winning animated film Shrek, this hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre will be staged during these summer school holidays. This extravagant multi-million-dollar musical combines romance, twisted fairy tales, and irreverent fun, bringing to life all the beloved characters from the film. It proves that there's more to the story than meets the ears.
