Shrek the Musical is a one-of-a-kind, hilarious fairy tale in which curses are reversed, monsters get the girls, donkeys and dragons to find love, and princesses are beautiful in all shapes and sizes.
Grumpy, gruff, green ogre Shrek (Spencer Greene) lives alone in his swamp. The world is fearful and mocking of him, and he is more than happy to leave the world to itself, in turn. Suddenly, his hermit existence is thrown open, when a group of homeless fairy tale characters — Pinocchio (Olivia Vorse), the Gingerbread Man (Jazz Buzard), the Three Little Pigs (Kayla Fagley, Lillie Scalise, Mackenzie Canaan), and more — burst upon his swamp, seeking refuge from the persecution of the cruel, vertically challenged Lord Farquaad (Matthew Myers).
Shrek seeks out Farquaad, who offers him a deal: if Shrek rescues the Princess Fiona (Hannah Krug)(whom Farquaad wishes to marry for her crown), then Farquaad will ensure the return of Shrek’s swamp by returning the fairy tale creatures to their homes.
