Based on the 1990 childrens book and 2001 Oscar-winning Dreamworks Animation film of the same name, Shrek is a fast-paced, entertaining show, featuring a tuneful score by Jeanine Tesori (Fun Home, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Caroline, or Change) and sparkling lyrics and witty book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters from the film to life on stage, following the tale of an unlikely hero, a green ogre named Shrek, who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero - and his name is Shrek!
