The Star Bright Players present Shrek the Musical
2023-01-28 14:00 - 16:00, 2023-01-27 19:00 - 21:00, 2023-01-26 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago)
Starting their 26th year of productions, the award-winning Star Bright Players will present 5 performances of Shrek the Musical under the direction of Blandina Vergara-Cruz, with musical direction by Cassie Stone and choreography by Claire Hamblen.
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 proves there’s more to the story than meets the ears.
“Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek….” And thus 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 rescue. 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.
