Shrek The Musical opens March 3

Dear Lisa,

You will want to experience all the energy, nostalgia and excitement of this fan-favorite story as our cast brings the swamp to life—the dance moves alone will have you tapping your feet all night long. Don’t miss out on this fantastical adventure with your favorite fairy-tale creatures. Many shows have only limited seating left—get your tickets while you can!

He’s big, green, grumpy and just wants to be left alone in his swamp, but when trouble comes to the Kingdom of Duloc, Shrek the ogre reluctantly answers the call.

 

Shrek The Musical, based on the popular DreamWorks movie, comes to Pentacle Theatre March 3-25. It features a cast of 33 and is directed by Robert Salberg.


Shrek fans will love this musical version of the story more than the films it’s based on,” said Salberg.


“There’s the DreamWorks film and there’s the live Netflix musical, but this updated version includes massive changes and improvements,” he said.


“For a contemporary musical, where context is everything, there are a lot of songs you will leave the theater singing,” said Salberg. “The music enhances the story. There are great melodies, toe-tapping rhythms, brilliant word play, plus everybody’s favorite ending number from the original film, I’m a Believer, by Neil Diamond and famously recorded by The Monkees.”
