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.
