https://www.instagram.com/thescoop.au/At its heart, the story follows Shrek, a grumpy ogre living a quiet life in his swamp, until a parade of banished fairytale misfits turns his world upside down.
Determined to reclaim his home, Shrek embarks on an unlikely quest alongside the endlessly talkative Donkey, striking a deal with the diminutive Lord Farquaad to rescue Princess Fiona from a fire-breathing dragon.
What unfolds is a joyful tale of friendship, courage, and self-acceptance, reminding audiences that true beauty comes from embracing who you are.
Produced by Showcase Entertainment Group, the company behind Madagascar The Musical and The Cat in the Hat, the show features a professional cast of 16 performers supported by more than 20 crew members, delivering Broadway-calibre vocals, choreography, and production values.
The touring production boasts million-dollar sets, intricately crafted costumes, and immersive lighting design, bringing cinematic scale to the live stage.
