Walnut Street Theatre continues its 211th season with the hilarious Broadway hit, SHREK THE MUSICAL. Directed by Glenn Casale and choreographed by Robbie Roby, the production begins previews on November 5, opens November 13, and continues through January 5 on the Walnut’s Mainstage.
The greatest fairy tale never told comes to life as never before in SHREK THE MUSICAL, the award-winning Broadway musical based on the Oscar-winning movie. A reclusive ogre finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking donkey and a feisty princess. Throw in a short-tempered wannabe king, a cookie with an attitude, and over a dozen other classic fairy tale misfits, and you've got the makings of a riotously dysfunctional road trip. Featuring all-new songs and outrageous humor for all ages, Shrek The Musical is ogre-sized holiday fun for the whole family!
SHREK THE MUSICAL runs at the Walnut November 5, 2019 – January 5, 2020. Open captioning will be available for the 7 p.m. performance on Sunday, December 1. There will be a talkback after the 8:00 p.m. performance on November 6 and after the 2:00 p.m. performance on December 17. This production is sponsored by Stradley Ronon.
