As part of the 2024 US Tour, Shrek The Musical finally hits the world-famous Arizona Financial Theatre for a two-night showing that begins on Friday, March 8th!
Opening on Broadway back in 2008, Shrek The Musical is a live musical adaptation based on the hit DreamWorks animated film, “Shrek”. Over the years, the show has garnered over eight Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical as well as several Drama Desk Award nominations. In 2013, RadicalMedia captured the Broadway production in high definition, and the resulting film was made available on DVD, Blu-ray, and digital download formats.
“Once upon a time musicals drew their inspiration from books, plays, or even real life; now they seem to be based on animated movies. But, although Shrek stems from the 2001 DreamWorks film, it is genuinely theatrical, generous-spirited and mercifully free of the sensory bombardment that afflicts some of its rivals,” The Guardian shares.
All Shrek really wants is one thing - a peaceful moment in his cozy swamp. Is that too much to ask? Apparently, it is, as his world turns around when a horde of fairy tale characters swarm and seek refuge in his home after being banished by the menacing Lord Farquaad. In order to reclaim his humble abode, this ogre strikes a deal with the short tyrant. His ticket back to the swamp lies in executing a bold plan to rescue Princess Fiona from a distant dungeon.
With lyrics and an original story by David Lindsary-Abaire, alongside toe-tapping show tunes by Jeanine Tesori, this production is a guaranteed hit for families looking to watch a fun-filled musical fit for all ages! The rest of the creatives include Jason Moore & Rob Ashford as Directors, Andy Grobengiser as Musical Director, and Josh Prince as Choreographer. Moreover, the official cast for the 2024 US Tour hasn’t been announced yet, so stay tuned for more updates!
