"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." Welcome to a magical land of classic fairy-tale characters… but in this fairy-tale, things are a little different than what you’ve read in the storybooks! The prince isn’t charming. The princess is feisty. Donkeys have attitude. And our unlikely hero is a reclusive green ogre who lives in a swamp. You thought love was only true in fairy tales? Join Shrek, Donkey, Princess Fiona, and all your favourite fairy-tale characters as they learn to let their freak flags fly and find love in unlikely places. There's more to this story than meets the ears. Based on the Oscar-winning smash hit film that captured the hearts of adults and kids of all ages, this Tony Award-winning Broadway musical brings the magic of the beloved movie to life on stage with catchy new songs, hilarious hijinks, and a treasure-trove of classic storybook characters…with a twist. Laugh-out-loud fun for the whole family, with a heart of green that proves beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.
