"Best Musical of the Decade!" Set in a small town, the story follows

Shrek The Musical |
 |
Cadillac Palace Theatre |
SHREK THE
MUSICAL, based on the Oscar®-winning DreamWorks film that started it
all, brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to
dazzling new life on the stage.
In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an
unseemly ogre — not a handsome prince — shows up to rescue a feisty
princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a bad guy with a
SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy
tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real
hero. Luckily, there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek.
Full of all-new songs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, SHREK
THE MUSICAL is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all
irreverent fun for everyone! |
