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.

  • Recommended Talking Points
    RECOMMENDED TALKING POINTS “What is SHREK THE MUSICAL?” The official title of the show is SHREK THE MUSICAL. SHREK THE MUSICAL is an entirely new musical based on the story and characters from William Steig’s book Shrek!, as well as the Oscar® winning DreamWorks Animation film Shrek, the first chapter of the Shrek movie series. SHREK THE MUSICAL looks backwards at all the fairy tale traditions we grew up on: a hero (a big, green, ill-tempered ogre), a beautiful princess (who is not all she appears to be), and a dastardly villain (with some obvious shortcomings) and takes great fun turning all their storytelling conventions upside-down and inside-out (and on their ear). “How did the musical come about?” Sam Mendes, the British director and producer, was a big fan of the first film, and he suggested the idea of creating a musical to DreamWorks’ Jeffrey Katzenberg, around the time the second film was in production. Now, the musical is being produced by DreamWorks Theatricals (Bill Damaschke, President) and Neal Street Productions, Ltd (principals Sam Mendes and Caro Newling). “How does the new musical fit into the Shrek pantheon?” The story of the musical follows the events and characters of the first Shrek feature film, which won the first-ever Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature. In SHREK THE MUSICAL, the creative team will go deeper into the background and story of Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey and the lovable collection of everyone’s favorite Fairy-Tale characters. SHREK THE MUSICAL will feature a completely original score by one the theatre’s most eclectic composers, Jeanine Tesori, working in theatre today.

We’re so glad you could join us! Musical theater is a unique American creation. It’s also a joyful mixture of song and story, and, since 1945, Dallas Summer Musicals has brought the finest musicals to Dallas. Want to know what goes into making a musical? Just two simple ingredients: singing and acting (song and story). There’s just something about a song that makes a story mean more than just regular speech. It touches us in a different way. Whether a show uses classical music or rock, a musical uses music to tell its story, to suggest feelings, emotions, and attitudes. As long as it mixes song and story, musical theater can be about literally anything, and this season’s shows are great examples of the wide range of subjects. From the blockbuster musical Wicked to the sweeping epic of Camelot, each production reveals a different aspect of what makes musical theater so special. The story of Dallas Summer Musicals is a long and honored one, and by learning about and attending one of our shows, you are now part of that story too! Sincerely, Michael A.

The musical weaves the plots of several fairy tales of brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault, exploring the consequences of the wishes and quests of the characters. The main characters are taken from Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the bean stalk, Rapunzel and Cinderella, as well as a number of others. The musical is connected with the story of the childless baker and his wife and their desire to create a family (the original beginning of the Rapunzel of the Brothers Grimm), their interaction with the witch, which imposes a curse on them, and their interaction with other characters of the collection of stories during their journey. The musical debuted in San Diego at the Old Globe Theater in 1986 and premiered on Broadway on November 5, 1987, where it won several Tony Awards, including best score, best book, and best actress in a musical (Joanna Gleeson), a year dominated by The Phantom of the Opera (1988).
