SHREK THE MUSICAL to Open at The Firehouse Theatre
The production is directed by Laura Jennings, with music direction by Molly Robinson and choreography by April Bourg.
The Firehouse Theatre will present Shrek the Musical, running June 25–July 12. Directed by Laura Jennings, Music Directed by Molly Robinson and Choreographed by April Bourg, this Broadway hit is a joyful celebration of acceptance, friendship, and finding your happily-ever-after in the most unlikely places.
Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks animated film, Shrek the Musical is a hilarious and heartwarming adventure that proves true beauty comes from within. When a grumpy ogre named Shrek finds his peaceful swamp overrun by a band of banished fairy tale creatures, he sets out on a quest to confront the diminutive Lord Farquaad. Along the way, Shrek is joined by a wisecracking Donkey and tasked with rescuing the spirited Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded tower. As unexpected friendships form and surprising secrets are revealed, Shrek discovers that being different is something to celebrate.
“We are thrilled to finally be bringing Shrek the Musical to the Firehouse stage - a title that has been at the top of audience and artist wishlists for years!” says Artistic Producer Owen Beans. “Shrek the Musical is a perfect reflection of what live theatre does best; it brings people together through laughter, heart, and unforgettable storytelling. While audiences may come for the beloved characters and familiar songs, they'll leave with a powerful reminder that our differences are what make us special.'
