Clara M.S. 'Shrek' the Musical first press release (11th February 2020):
Curtain up on Clara Musical Society’s eagerly anticipated production of Shrek the Musical may still be a few weeks away, but booking for this multi-award-winning show is now open. Like an onion a good musical is all about the layers and the plot for this show has plenty.
Based on the 2001 DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek is Set in a mythical “once upon a time” sort of land. It tells the story of a hulking green ogre who, after being mocked and feared his entire life by anything that crosses his path, retreats to an ugly green swamp to exist in happy isolation. Suddenly, a gang of homeless fairy-tale characters (Pinocchio, Cinderella, the Three Pigs, you name it) raid his sanctuary, saying they’ve been evicted by the vertically challenged Lord Farquaad. So Shrek strikes a deal: I’ll get your homes back, if you give me my home back! But when Shrek and Farquaad meet, the Lord strikes a deal of his own: He’ll give the fairy-tale characters their homes back, if Shrek rescues Princess Fiona. Shrek obliges, yet finds something appealing–something strange and different–about this pretty princess. He likes her. A lot. But why does she always run off when the sun sets?.
With music by Jeanine Tesori and book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek The Musical has captured the hearts and minds of children and adults alike, while effectively tickling their funny bones. This is a fabulous family musical, but certainly isn’t just for kids.
Shrek the musical runs from Tuesday 31st March – Saturday 4th April in Clara GAA Centre at 8pm nightly. Anticipating a great demand for tickets, they will also stage a matinee on Saturday April 4th. At 2:30pm. Tickets for the Tuesday 31st and the matinee are priced at €14 and €18 for the other performances. Booking was officially opened last Friday night and tickets are already flying out the door. Log on to www.clarams.com to purchase tickets or you can call our booking number 087 9366247 for accessible seating and pay by card over the phone. A pop up booking office will also be open on Saturday 22nd of February in River Street, Clara (beside Post Office) from 11am to 2pm to accommodate anyone who may not be able to book online or pay by card. Lots more cast information and news from Clara’s ‘Shrek’ in the coming weeks.
