A MESSAGE FROM THE SWAMPS OF FAR FAR AWAY…
Like a gingerbread man, with gum drop buttons, our newly announced production of “Shrek The Musical” needs a bit more time in the oven. Much like an onion, this spectacular production has many layers and unfortunately due to unforeseen licensing complexities, we will be postponing the swampy, heartwarming adventures of Shrek, Donkey and Fiona until next year.
Director: Christopher Alvaro
Musical Director: Matthew Walford
Choreographer: Chloe Palliser
THE STORY:
Set in a mythical “once upon a time” sort of land, Shrek the Musical is the story of a hulking green ogre who, after being mocked and feared his entire life by anything that crosses his path, retreats to an ugly green swamp to exist in happy isolation. Suddenly, a gang of homeless fairy-tale characters (Pinocchio, Cinderella, the Three Pigs, you name it) raid his sanctuary, saying they’ve been evicted by the vertically challenged Lord Farquaad. So Shrek strikes a deal: I’ll get your homes back, if you give me my home back! But when Shrek and Farquaad meet, the Lord strikes a deal of his own: He’ll give the fairy-tale characters their homes back, if Shrek rescues Princess Fiona. Shrek obliges, yet finds something appealing–something strange and different–about this pretty princess. He likes her. A lot. But why does she always run off when the sun sets?
