FROM SWAMP TO STAGE! 

Shrek The MusicalSHREK THE MUSICAL, based on the Oscar�-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to life the stage. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre - not a handsome prince - shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a villain with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek.  Featuring a terrific score of 19 all-new songs, big laughs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery.
