Extra Performance of SHREK Added at Lyceum Theatre

Sheffield Theatres have announced that due to popular demand, an extra performance of SHREK THE MUSICAL. at the Lyceum Theatre on Sunday 7 June at 5.00pm has been added to the run. Tickets for the extra performance go on sale at 10.00am on Friday 12 December.

Join unlikely hero, Shrek and his loyal steed Donkey as they embark on a quest to rescue the beautiful (if slightly temperamental) Princess Fiona from a fire-breathing, love-sick dragon. Add the diminutive Lord Farquaad, a gang of fairytale misfits and a biscuit with attitude and you've got the biggest, brightest musical comedy around!

SHREK THE MUSICAL opens at the Lyceum Theatre on Wednesday 27 May 2015 as part of its first ever tour of the UK and Ireland. Coming direct from London, where it was seen live on stage by nearly a million people, the tour of the Drury Lane production of SHREK THE MUSICAL will be directed by Nigel Harman who starred as Lord Farquaad in the West End production, winning him the 2012 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Performance in a Supporting Role in a Musical.

Originally directed (in the West End) by Jason Moore and Rob Ashford, the show is based on the story and characters from William Steig's book Shrek! and the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animations feature film.
