Editorial Review
A brand-new musical based on Dreamworks' popular film brings the land of "far, far away" to Broadway!
Based on William Steig's novel and Dreamworks' popular animated film, Shrek the Musical follows the adventures of Shrek, a lovable swamp-dwelling ogre; his wisecracking sidekick, Donkey; the lovely Princess Fiona; Lord Farquaad and a chorus of everybody's favorite fractured fairytale creatures. With more layers than ever and a completely original new score, Shrek the Musical proves that there's more to the story than meets the ears.
David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole) provides to the book and lyrics for Shrek the Musical, with a score by Jeanine Tesori (Caroline, or Change) and direction by Jason Moore (Avenue Q).
