The upcoming musical “SHREK, JR.” brings the greatest fairy tale ever told to the Royal Theatre stage March 12-21, 2026. Based on the award-winning Broadway show “Shrek the Musical,” which was based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, “Shrek,” “SHREK The Musical JR” was masterfully adapted for the stage, while still ensuring that even the littlest theatre-goers stay captivated by the song, dance, and laughter.

Along the way, they encounter a feisty princess, a fire-breathing dragon, and a gang of fairy tale misfits who prove that true beauty is found within.
Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, SHREK the Musical JR is an irreverently fun show that proves being different is what makes you special. Don't miss this dazzling adventure of OGRE-sized fun for the whole family!
