Originally produced on Broadway by DreamWorks Theatricals and Neal Street Productions.

SHREK the Musical is the story of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a jesting Donkey and a plucky princess. This hilarious stage show is based on the smash hit DreamWorks animated film that celebrates our differences and the humanity in all of us.

The original Broadway production opened in December 2008 and closed after a run of over 12 months in January 2010. It was followed by a tour of the United States which opened in 2010, and a re-vamped West End production from June 2011 to February 2013. The song “I’m a Believer”, which was originally played as the audience left the theatre, was added to the score on October 2, 2009, and sung by the entire company at the end of the performance.

The Broadway production of the show received a total of twelve Drama Desk Award and eight Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical and acting awards for Brian d’Arcy James, Sutton Foster and Christopher Sieber. The London production was nominated for four Olivier Award and won one.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Europe) (www.mtishow.co.uk) and l’Agence Drama – Paris (www.dramaparis.com). All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
