Everyone’s favorite ogre is back in the hilarious stage spectacle based on the Oscar-winning, smash hit film.

The Woodland Opera House will present the Broadway hit-musical “Shrek, the Musical” opening Friday, August 3^rd at 7:30 p.m. The show runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through August 26^th. The musical is generously underwritten by The Opera House Guild. “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.

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.  Recommended for ages 8 and up.

Reserved seats are $25 for adults, $23 for seniors 62+, and $12 for children 17 and under. Balcony tickets are $15 for adults and $7 for children. Flex Pass specials and group rates are available.
