This holiday season, enjoy the humour, heart, and hijinks of this ogre-sized production — one of YPT’s largest ever! Bursting with catchy tunes and laugh-out-loud moments, Shrek The Musical features a kaleidoscopic crew of fairy tale misfits – a wisecracking donkey, a fierce warrior princess, a pint-sized villain, and even a cookie with an attitude. It’s a fun-filled adventure for the whole family, celebrating friendship and the joy of finding your true self. Based on the smash-hit Oscar-winning film, this charmingly cheeky romp in the swamp reminds us that even in a world divided, we’re all in this together.
