Shrek, the Musical is based on the Oscar winning DreamWorks film
that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to
dazzling new life on the stage.

In a faraway
kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre — not a
handsome prince — shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who
won't shut up, a bad guy with a SHORT temper, 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.

Full of
all-new songs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, is part romance, part
twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!

The
production is being directed by Dan Walsh (of Chicago) with choreography by Dan
Walsh (of Chicago), Jonah Parra (of Palatine), Jackie Podgorny (of Inverness),
Jamie Podgorny (of Inverness), and Breton Spiller (of Mt. Prospect). Musical
direction by Jessica Harrigan Texidor (of Chicago).
