Another top-notch musical from 5-Star Theatricals!! Based on the contemporary fairy-tale book and the animated film it inspired, "Shrek the Musical" uses an all-new score to expand on the movie’s original story. There’s a lot for the eyes and ears to ogle over in true 5-Star fashion: spectacular sets, innovative scene changes, puppets of all sizes, plus a very large and energetic cast and a professional full live orchestra! Like the movie, there are pop-culture references galore and plenty of laughs, many that involve bodily noises. That might be a turn-off for some, but there’s also a traditional happy ending and a great finale that will have you dancing in your seats!
Check out our cast for "Shrek the Musical", rehearsals are underway and this is one talented group of actors! Get your tickets now!
