Shrek the Musical - Theater

Shrek the Musical is a hilarious and heartwarming fairy-tale adventure about an unlikely hero. When a group of banished fairy-tale creatures suddenly appear in the swamp of the grumpy ogre Shrek, he sets out to confront the ambitious ruler, Lord Farquaad and reclaim his home. In order to do so, Shrek agrees to rescue Princess Fiona, a princess locked away in a tower and guarded by a fearsome dragon. Joined by the endlessly talkative Donkey, Shrek embarks on a journey that quickly becomes more than a simple quest. Along the way, unlikely friendships form and surprising truths are revealed. Filled with comedy, spectacle, and a host of beloved fairy-tale characters, this musical celebration reminds us that real beauty—and real love—comes from embracing who we truly are. Community Theatre Production produced by Morgan-Wixson Theatre, an all-volunteer run community theatre celebrating its 80th season.
