Shrek The Musical JR.

Everyone's favorite ogre is back in this hilarious stage spectacle, based on the Oscar-winning smash hit film and outrageous Broadway musical.

Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in Shrek The Musical JR., based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and fantastic Broadway musical. It's a "big bright beautiful world" as everyone's favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance. Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek JR. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.

Once upon a time, in a faraway swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he's handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn't be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.

With abundant opportunities for imaginative sets and costumes and a host of over-the-top roles for an expandable cast, there's a part for everyone in this dazzling adventure story.

Musical Theater FAQ

Yes. Both students with us and non-students can enroll in our musicals.
Junior musicals are well-known musicals adapted for performance by students in grades K-9. These shows are usually 60/70 minutes long and feature music adapted for developing voices and kid-friendly scripts.
Yes. We ask every performer to audition. Auditions take place on the first rehearsal day. We ask that the students prepare 16 bars (approximately 30 seconds) of a song from the show or another musical. Our directors take notes and ask which parts they want to audition for. This does not guarantee they will be cast in those parts. However, our directors will find a role that fits your child best.
Students need to have the appropriate footwear and dancewear for rehearsals. (Dance shoes, dance attire.)
Parts are given out on week two of rehearsals. We want to emphasize that every role in the show is significant and valuable, and we aim to provide a positive and inclusive experience for all our performers. We encourage all participants to be team players, open to exploring new roles and challenging themselves. While we understand that everyone has a specific part in mind, we encourage all participants to be open to exploring new roles and challenging themselves. We believe that each performer has the potential to shine in any role they are given.
