About Shrek the Musical

Shrek the Musical tells the story of a solitary ogre whose swamp is invaded by a host of intriguing characters, all banished by the diminutive and tyrannical Lord Farquaad. To reclaim his privacy, Shrek strikes a deal with the evil lord. He will rescue Princess Fiona, who has been locked away in a tower, in exchange for his own peace. As Shrek and his friend Donkey embark on their quest, they encounter a series of misadventures that reveal more about Fiona’s unique circumstances and secrets.

The humorous narrative of Shrek the Musical weaves together the values of self-acceptance and true friendship. The odyssey is punctuated by memorable songs, including “Story Of My Life,” "Who I'd Be" and "Morning Person," each serving to deepen the audience’s understanding of the characters' thoughts and transformations. Throughout their quest, Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey challenge traditional fairy-tale conventions, inviting everyone to consider what it truly means to live happily ever after.

Shrek the Musical - Broadway Connections

Shrek the Musical opened on Broadway on December 14, 2008, seven years after its movie theater debut. After over 400 performances, the final curtain call took place on January 3, 2010. Now, people across the globe can experience the magic of this tale, thanks to the musical tour! Of course, that wouldn’t be possible without the work of the talented cast and crew who first told the tale: 

• Brian d’Arcy James, who originated the role of Shrek in the Broadway production, played Frederick Barrett in Titanic, King George III in Hamilton, Nick Bottom in Something Rotten!, and The Baker in Into the Woods. He has received multiple Tony nominations for his work. 

• Sutton Foster, who delighted fans as Fiona, won the Tony for Best Actress in a Musical for the lead in Thoroughly Modern Millie and her role as Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes. She has also been in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Grease, Little Women, and more.

• Daniel Breaker earned a Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Musical in recognition of his portrayal of Donkey. He also played Mafala Hatimbi in The Book of Mormon and Aaron Burr in Hamilton. His voice can be heard on the Shrek the Musical cast recording. 

• Jason Moore, director of the original Broadway show, served at the helm of Avenue Q in 2004, earning a Tony nod for his work. Additionally, he worked on the revival of Steel Magnolias and has directed films, including Shotgun Wedding, Sisters, and the box office smash Pitch Perfect. 

• Jeanine Tesori, who composed the music for Shrek the Musical, also lent her talents to the Broadway hit Kimberly Akimbo, which was written by lyricist David Lindsay-Abaire. Kimberly Akimbo won Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Book of a Musical.

Preparing for the Production

Once you have your Shrek the Musical tour tickets, there are things you can do to give yourself the best theatrical experience. The following tips can help you prepare for the show, expanding your knowledge about the production and keeping you engaged right up until the day of the event:

• You don’t have to wait for the show to start your fun! Try to find activities in the area related to Shrek the Musical or the arts in general. Make a whole day of it! 

• Enhance your experience with a tour of the theater. Many venues offer peeks behind the scenes to give guests a better understanding of what goes into each show.

• Respect the fourth wall; refrain from engaging with the performers or interfering with the story being told on stage.
