SHREK TV - 'This Is Our Story: Swamp to Stage' Epi. 1: Words & Music

Shrek The Musical takes you behind-the-scenes with the launch of "This Is Our Story: Swamp to Stage," the 10 part online video series that follows the cast and creative team of Broadway's newest hit musical on their journey to bring this story to life on stage.

In the first video entitled "Words & Music," meet the two writers of Shrek The Musical and learn how their collaboration shaped "far, far and away the funniest new musical on Broadway."

Shrek The Musical features a book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize® winner, David Lindsay-Abaire, music by Olivier Award-winner Jeanine Tesori, and is directed by Tony Award® nominee Jason Moore. The new show opened at the Broadway Theatre on Sunday, December 14.

Shrek The Musical stars Tony Award® nominee Brian d'Arcy James as Shrek, Tony Award® winner Sutton Foster as Princess Fiona, Tony Award® nominee Christopher Sieber as Lord Farquaad, Tony Award® nominee Daniel Breaker as Donkey and Tony Award® nominee John Tartaglia as Pinocchio.

Shrek The Musical is an entirely new musical based on the story and characters from William Steig's book Shrek!, as well as the Dreamworks Animation film Shrek, the first chapter of the Shrek movie series.

Shrek The Musical tells the story of a swamp-dwelling ogre who goes on a life-changing adventure to reclaim the deed to his land. Joined by a wise-cracking donkey, this unlikely hero fights a fearsome dragon, rescues a feisty princess and learns that real friendship and true love aren't only found in fairy tales.
