Shrek the Musical is a high-energy comedy with some great life lessons based on William Steigs book, Shrek, and DreamWorks Animations Shrek, the first movie of the film series. The musical follows an ogre, Shrek, and a donkeys budding friendship as they go on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona, from a tower guarded by a fire-breathing dragon for Lord Farquaad, the hysterical villain, in exchange for the deed to his swamp. We also meet a myriad of fairytale favorites such as Pinocchio, the Big Bad Wolf, the 3 Pigs, and everyones favorite gingerbread man, Gingy! This musical teaches Shrek (and the audience) that genuine friendship and true love are real, available to everyone, and not just the things we read about in fairytales.Spotlight! Theatre, under the direction of Florida Academy of Performing Arts owner and founder, Heather Ochalek, presents Shrek the Musical!
