Shrek the Musical, Jr.

Based on the Oscar-winning smash hit film and outrageous Broadway musical, an ogre named Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits, who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions.

When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but this fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few big twists and turns along the way!
