Shrek the Musical

  • Fountain Performing Arts Centre 35 Kings Edgehill Lane Windsor, NS, B0N 2T0 Canada (map)

Quick As A Wink Theatre Society presents Shrek the Musical, directed by Mike Butler with Music Direction by Michael Nelson. Music by Jeanine Tesori, Book and Lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire. 

Tickets Available Sept 11, 2018 at QAAW.ca, in Windsor at the Spoke & Note, and in Wolfville at Box of Delights Bookshop.

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.

"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And 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. 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.

Shrek presents a treasure trove of creative opportunities, including costumes, sets, puppets (there is a fire-breathing dragon after all) and more! Irreverently fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.

Shrek the Musical is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIshows.com
