Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical JR. is the presented-by-kids version of the Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure that will take you on a hilarious rollercoaster ride of twisted-up fairytales. Filled with fantastic new songs and a beautiful message of inclusion and self-acceptance, Shrek JR. tells a topsy-turvy fairytale story:
Once upon a time, in a faraway swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day, 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 a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.
Shrek JR. is a wonderful combination of fun music and side-splitting humour with a beautiful message at its heart.
