Posted by APATA | Nov 6, 2019

Get ready Australia, the Broadway smash hit SHREK THE MUSICAL is coming to our shores January 2020. Tickets are selling out fast so you better be quick, especially if you plan on taking the kids to a matinee.

This lavish multi-million dollar musical, starring Ben Mingay as Shrek, Lucy Durack as Princess Fiona, Todd McKenney as Lord Farquaad (Sydney & Melbourne) and a special guest appearance by Marcia Hines as the Dragon (Sydney & Brisbane), will open at the Sydney Lyric in January 2020 followed by seasons in Melbourne and Brisbane.

Based on the Oscar®-winning Dreamworks film, SHREK THE MUSICAL brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favourite ogre to life on the stage.

Featuring a terrific score of 19 songs, big laughs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, its no wonder The New York Times called it ‘True happiness’ and The Daily Mirror said its ‘The most fun you’ll ever have’.

SHREK THE MUSICAL, part romance, part twisted fairytale and all irreverent fun for everyone!
