Shrek the Musical Audition Sign Up

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proces there's more to the story than meets the ears. 

"Once upon a time there was a little ogre named Shrek..." And this begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescure. Throw in a short- tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek. 

Shrek The Musical is packed with relatable characters and moving vocals. You will not want to miss out!
