SHREK THE MUSICAL® is based on the story and characters from William Steig's book Shrek! and the Oscar-winning Dreamworks Animation feature film Shrek, the first chapter in the series of irreverent fairy tales.

SHREK THE MUSICAL® played on Broadway from December 2008 to January 2010 and was nominated for eight Tony Awards®, winning Tim Hatley the Tony Award® for Best Costume Design of a Musical. The original creative team has now re-assembled to stage the production with new songs and additional scenes. This production opened in Chicago on July 25, 2010 and is touring 60 cities in the United States. The UK production will start rehearsals in London in early 2011.

SHREK THE MUSICAL® is Dreamworks Animation's first theatre venture. The production was initiated when Sam Mendes, a fan of the first Shrek film, suggested the idea of creating a musical to Dreamworks Animation's Jeffrey Katzenberg around the time that the second film Shrek 2 was in production. The musical is produced by DreamWorks Theatricals Bill Damaschke, president and London-based Neal Street Productions Caro Newling, producer.
