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.
