The Old Opera House rarely cancels a performance due to the weather, but in the interest of safety, they have annonced that they are cancelling today's performance of SHREK the musical and the auditions for The Love List this evening due to negative weather forecast.

Directed by Steven Brewer, musically directed by Alison Shafer and choreographed by Ashley Snow, Shrek: The Musical will open this weekend at the Old Opera House in Charles Town, West Virginia. Shrek: The Musical follows the story of the well-known 2001 movie almost identically. Shrek (Edgar Conn) is a misjudged ogre who lives alone in a swamp.....until tyrannical ruler Lord Farquaad (Shawn Nakia) evicts all of the 'reject' fairy tale creatures in the kingdom of Duloc (including the Three Bears, the Three Pigs, Pinocchio and many others) onto Shrek's muddy home. In order to win back his land, Shrek must rescue the not so typical damsel-in-distress, Princess Fiona (Karilee Grossnickle), from a dragon guarded castle, with the help of his wise-cracking donkey (Andrew McClain).

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, SHREK the Musical brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to the stage! Join Shrek and his loyal steed Donkey, as they set off on a quest to rescue the beautiful (if slightly temperamental) Princess Fiona. Add the diminutive Lord Farquaad, a gang of fairytale misfits and a cookie with attitude, and you've got this year's must-see new musical comedy!

Fresh off Broadway, this hilarious musical-comedy is based on the novel Legally Blonde by Amanda Brown and the 2001 film of the same name. It tells the story of Elle Woods, a sorority girl who enrolls at Harvard Law School for the sole purpose to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner. She discovers how her knowledge of the law can help others and that when she applies herself she is so much more than a sorority girl from California. Stodgy old Harvard Law will never be the same!
