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).
