OGRES RULE AT THE PPP!

/

Everyone’s favorite ogre is hitting the Poplar Pike Playhouse stage this spring! Shrek the Musical is a hilarious stage spectacle based on the Oscar-winning, smash hit film. Featuring all new songs by Jeanine Tesori and script by David Lindsay-Abaire, Shrek brings all the beloved characters from the film to life on stage and proves there is more to the story than meets the ears.

When the kingdom of Duloc’s magical creatures descend on his swamp, Shrek soon discovers the only way to make them leave is to team up with the spunk filled, fast-talking Donkey to rescue the endangered Princess Fiona. On their journey back to the kingdom of Duloc Shrek and Donkey both learn that a person’s heart means more than outward appearances.

This musical is filled with unforgettable characters and humorous songs as well. “Story of My Life”, “Forever”, and “Morning Person” are just a few of the catchy songs that appear in the show. “What makes Shrek stands out from other shows is that while it is a familiar story for many people, it is also unique. The characters, the costumes, the props, and the lighting of this magical story will be something audiences will remember for a long time,” said Chelbi Talley who is the Stage Manager for Shrek.
