Shrek The Musical Jr at Hongwanji Mission School

Shrek the Musical is a hilarious and heartwarming stage adaptation of the beloved DreamWorks animated film. It follows the grumpy ogre, Shrek, who lives a solitary life in his stinky swamp. Shrek's peaceful existence is disrupted when Lord Farquaad, a short-tempered and power-hungry ruler, displaces fairytale creatures from their homes and dumps them in Shrek's swamp. Frustrated, Shrek makes a deal with Farquaad: he'll retrieve the beautiful Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded tower in exchange for getting the fairytale creatures out of his swamp.

The energetic score blends pop, rock, and fairytale-inspired melodies. With show-stopping numbers like "I'm a Believer," and "Big, Bright Beautiful World," the musical keeps the audience entertained and engaged.
