“Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek….” Thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue.

Your favorite ogre is back in the hilarious stage spectacle based on the Oscar-winning, smash hit DreamWorks animated film. Tony Award-winning duo Jeanine Tesori (music) and David Lindsay-Abaire (book) revisit their first collaboration to deliver a more intimate and engaging experience – a joyful, colorful Shrek that leans into the humanity in all of us that celebrates our differences.

With all-new original direction and choreography by Danny Mefford (Choreographer, Dear Evan Hansen), and filled with lush orchestrations, this re-imagined production brings the show back to its roots – emphasizing the importance of loving ourselves and one another.
