“Ogres are like onions.” It’s one of the most quoted lines from Shrek, and it captures the heart of the story better than any traditional fairy tale opening. This spring, Royal City Musical Theatre brings SHREK THE MUSICAL to the stage from April 17 to May 3 at the Massey Theatre, where the story unfolds layer by layer. What starts as a simple quest quickly opens up into something more, filled with unlikely friendships, fairy tale chaos, and a love story that strays from a traditional mold.
Royal City Musical Theatre has announced it will present SHREK THE MUSICAL, a stage adaptation of the beloved animated film. The production is set to open in April.
