Description
Follow the adventures of Shrek, his sidekick Donkey, Princess Fiona, Lord Farquaad and everybody's favorite fairy-tale creatures. With an original new score, this show proves there's more to the story than meets the ears. At the start of the show, we discover that Shrek, an ogre, has been cast off by society and even his own parents, so he isolates himself in the swamp and convinces himself he’s better off that way. When he is forced to journey out, he discovers that the other people and creatures put in his path bring out his other “layers,” one of which is a reluctant desire for community and companionship. He gets in his own way because he’s made up his mind that his identity is that of an unlovable monster.
Ultimately, Shrek comes to terms with unexpected love, unlikely friendship, acceptance of himself, and integration into the fairytale community. This show contains a message that touches the essence of what it is to be human.
