Shrek the Musical

You can’t keep a good partnership apart forever – and no, we’re not talking about Shrek and Donkey. Jeanine Tesori (music) and David Lindsay-Abaire (book and lyrics) have reunited to refresh their 2008 Tony-nominated musical for a spectacular new touring production. This isn’t just the 2001 Dreamworks animated favorite adapted for the stage, but a mix of all three films as well as elements of the book that started it all – William Steig’s 1990 illustrated gem Shrek! Take a fantastical trip to the swamp as everyone’s favorite troll tries to get all these fairy folk out of his mud. – Richard Whittaker
