The Visit

Ages: 16+

The Visit Broadway Tickets, News, Info & More

based on the play Der Besuch der alten Dame (The Visit) by Friedrich Dürrenmatt

Claire was driven from her hometown in disgrace when she was 17, betrayed by her lover. Many years (and seven husbands) later, she returns (beautifully dressed, but with a wooden leg) to her now-impoverished stomping grounds and offers to save the town. The price? Nothing less than the life of Schell.

Review: SHREK THE MUSICAL Turns the Swamp into a Spectacle at Massey Theatre
by Alyson Eng - Apr 27, 2026


“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.

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.

by Amanda Barnum - Apr 6, 2026
