Shrek the Musical is the hit musical based on the hugely popular, Oscar-winning Dreamworks Animation film. The show took Broadway by storm and had audiences howling with laughter. Ray-Pec Theatre is proud to perform this highly entertaining show. The musical centers on the grumpy, oversized green ogre with the heroic heart and brings the beloved characters from the film to life on stage. As Shrek’s peaceful swamp is overrun by fairy tale characters banished from the kingdom of Duloc, Shrek discovers he needs to find a more heroic side to himself to confront the evil Lord Farquaad and fight for the rights of the fairy tale creatures. Along the way he meets Fiona, the love of his life and Donkey, a true friend, and realizes a solitary life isn’t all that he thought it was. This Tony Award-winning musical with a book by David Lindsey-Abaire and catchy new songs by Jeanine Tesori is irreverent fun for the whole family.
