Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in Shrek The Musical JR.,
based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and fantastic Broadway
musical. It's a "big bright beautiful world" as everyone's favorite
ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a
princess and find true acceptance. Part romance and part twisted fairy tale,
Shrek JR. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole
family.
Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One
day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been
cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets
off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he's handed a task — if he
rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win
Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn't be complete
without a few twists and turns along the way.
