Join Shrek, our unlikely hero, and his loyal steed Donkey as they set off on a quest to rescue the beautiful (if slightly temperamental) Princess Fiona from her tower where she's guarded by a fire-breathing love-sick dragon. Add in the diminutive Lord Farquaad, a gang of fairytale misfits, and a biscuit with attitude, and you’ve got the must see musical comedy SHREK - THE MUSICAL! Featuring all new songs as well as the cult Shrek anthem “I’m a Believer,” SHREK – The Musical brings these well-loved characters to life in a hilarious and spectacular production based on the story from the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film. The world of fairytales is turned upside down in an all singing, all dancing show, with an irresistible mix of adventure, laughter, and romance.

The Witch Is Dead,” “If I Only Had A Brain,” and “We're Off To See The Wizard.” Elphaba, The Wicked Witch, says, "Put a smile on every face in your family with J*Company’s production of The Wizard Of Oz."
