SHREK THE MUSICAL, based on the Oscar® winning DreamWorks film that 
started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre 
to dazzling new life on 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 bad guy 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.

Full of all-new songs, great dancing and 
breathtaking scenery, SHREK THE MUSICAL is part romance, part twisted 
fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!

LORD FARQUAAD 	A 
comically short, ruthless ruler of the huge castle of Duloc. In his

SHREK 	
Prides himself on being a big, green, terrifying ogre. Shrek was kicked 
out at a young age to live alone until the fairytale creatures disturb 
him in his swamp. In an effort to regain his peace he goes on a trip 
along the way meeting Donkey who accompanies him the rest of his journey
 to Duloc, to save Princess Fiona and back again.
