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 own rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you have got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there is one on hand, and his name is Shrek. Based on the Oscar-winning, smash-hit DreamWorks Animation film, the Tony Award-winning fairytale adventure Shrek the Musical 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.
