\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Kimberly Akimbo<\/em>\u00a0Tony Award-winning duo\u00a0Jeanine Tesori<\/strong>\u00a0(music) and\u00a0David Lindsay-Abaire<\/strong>\u00a0(book) revisit their first collaboration to deliver a more intimate and engaging experience \u2013 a joyful, colorful SHREK that leans into the humanity in all of us that celebrates our differences.\u00a0. With all-new original direction and choreography by\u00a0Danny Mefford\u00a0<\/strong>(Choreographer, Dear Evan Hansen<\/em>),\u00a0<\/em>this reimagined production of\u00a0SHREK THE MUSICAL<\/strong>\u00a0brings the show back to its roots – giving it a new kind of love emphasizing the importance of loving ourselves and one another.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Based on the hit DreamWorks animated film,\u00a0SHREK THE MUSICAL<\/strong>\u00a0is a hilarious fairy tale adventure with a cast of vibrant characters and a \u2018shrek-tacular\u2019 score that\u2019s perfect for the young and the young-at-heart! Our unlikely hero finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and the feisty Princess Fiona who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, 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. It\u2019s not easy being green, but this irreverently fun musical proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre!<\/p>\n
