Shrek the Musical Shrek the Musical is, as Shrek himself says, “a little nutty.” I knew from repeated viewings of the movies and the musical that it was hilarious and magical and that bringing it to life would be quite an undertaking. What I loved about the story from the start is that it’s an unconventional fairytale. A little like Beauty and the Beast, but so much grosser and with a twist-ending, the core message is to not only accept but celebrate what makes you different. My favorite line in the show is “what makes us special makes us strong.” I can certainly say, with this cast and crew, that not only are they a little—okay, a lot—nutty, but extremely special. I couldn’t have asked for more talent, or better people, both on and off-stage to make this very special show come to life in such magical ways. To them, I say a heartfelt thank you for their hours of hard work and dedication, for the endless laughs, hugs and tolerance of my 80s music during warm-ups. I’ve been so, so blessed, having worked at Walt Disney World for five years, to return to some of my own magical roots with this show. To you, the audience, I say, prepare yourselves for roughly two hours of laughter, fun, heart and a little bit of romance too. “This is our story.” ~Jennifer Scarlett Lee Kirby Based on the Dreamworks Animation Motion Picture and the book by William Steig Book and Lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire Music by Jeanine Tesori Originally produced on Broadway by DreamWorks Theatricals and Neal Street Productions “I’m A Believer” by Neil Diamond Shrek The Musical is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

That’s right, all ogres are destined to live lonely, miserable lives being chased by torch-wielding mobs who want to kill them. So the young Shrek set off, and eventually found a patch of swampland far away from the world that despised him. Many years pass, and the little ogre grows into a very big ogre, who has learned to love the solitude and privacy of his wonderfully stinky swamp (Big Bright Beautiful World.) Unfortunately, Shrek’s quiet little life is turned upside down when a pack of distraught Fairy Tale Creatures are dumped on his precious land. Pinocchio and his ragtag crew of pigs, witches and bears, lament their sorry fate, and explain that they’ve been banished from the Kingdom of Duloc by the evil Lord Farquaad for being freakishly different from everyone else (Story Of My Life.) Left with no choice, the grumpy ogre sets off left to right Jacob Ming-Trent to give that egotistical zealot a piece of his mind, and to Adam Riegler hopefully get his swamp back, exactly as it was.

  • Shrek Audition Monologues
    Shrek Audition Monologues Shrek: Once upon a time there was a little ogre named Shrek, who lived with his parents in a bog by a tree. It was a pretty nasty place, but he was happy because ogres like nasty. On his 7th birthday the little ogre’s parents sat him down to talk, just as all ogre parents had for hundreds of years before. Ahh, I know it’s sad, very sad, but ogres are used to that – the hardships, the indignities. And so the little ogre went on his way and found a perfectly rancid swamp far away from civilization. And whenever a mob came along to attack him he knew exactly what to do. Rooooooaaaaar! Hahahaha! Fiona: Oh hello! Sorry I’m late! Welcome to Fiona: the Musical! Yay, let’s talk about me. Once upon a time, there was a little princess named Fiona, who lived in a Kingdom far, far away. One fateful day, her parents told her that it was time for her to be locked away in a desolate tower, guarded by a fire-breathing dragon- as so many princesses had for hundreds of years before. Isn’t that the saddest thing you’ve ever heard? A poor little princess hidden away from the world, high in a tower, awaiting her one true love Pinocchio: (Kid or teen) This place is a dump! Yeah, yeah I read Lord Farquaad’s decree. “ All fairytale characters have been banished from the kingdom of Duloc. All fruitcakes and freaks will be sent to a resettlement facility.” Did that guard just say “Pinocchio the puppet”? I’m not a puppet, I’m a real boy! Man, I tell ya, sometimes being a fairytale creature sucks pine-sap! Settle in, everyone.

  • A Supposed Happily Ever After: a Shrek and Into the Woods Analysis
    Lehmann 1 Sarah Lehmann Dr. Aaron Adair THTR 4013 1 May 2017 A Supposed Happily Ever After: A Shrek and Into the Woods Analysis As new musicals are created, playwrights often refer back to existing productions to draw inspiration and plots- a common phrase in the theatrical world known as “history repeats itself.” In Sondheim's Into the Woods and Lindsay-Abaire’s Shrek The Musical, there are multiple ​ ​ ​ ​ similarities between the two shows. Though vastly different in execution, these productions are ​ alike in plot content, humoristic style, and character development. Foremost, the most prominent correlation between the two shows is the plot. In both musicals, unlikely heroes go on a quest ordered by a hierarchy (for their benefit) and unknowingly break a spell. A singular example in Into the Woods is the Baker and the Baker’s ​ ​ wife going into the woods to find items in hopes of having a child. The Witch casts them out (to help her also gain her youth), and, in a triumph, they complete the task. Similarly, in Shrek the ​ Musical, when Shrek and Donkey are sent to rescue a princess by Lord Farquaad, it is the higher ​ power who ends up unsuccessful. Despite the contrast, the humor in each show is captivating. The writing “is extremely tight. [Meaning] that most scenes accomplish several functions simultaneously: moving the story Lehmann 2 forward, drawing us into the characters, making us laugh or sad or both simultaneously, setting up elements which will be revisited later on, and always entertaining us with highly original lines and scenes” (Freeman).
