THEATRE + COMEDY

Shrek the Musical is Bringing Ugly Back in Houston.  Broadway Across America presents Shrek the Musical,  Oct 19-31, 2010,  in Sarafim Hall at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts (800 Bagby). Shrek the Musical, based on the Oscar®-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favorite ogre to life 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.

Featuring a terrific score of 19 all-new songs, big laughs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery,  Shrek the Musical is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone! 

USA Today proclaims Shrek the Musical, “ALTOGETHER IRRESISTIBLE. A BIG FAT HIT!”
