Marquee Theatrical Productions has brought everyone's favorite ogre to the stage at the Newmarket Theatre.

Shrek the Musical, based on the Oscar® winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to dazzling new life on the stage.

In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre - not a handsome prince - shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a bad guy with a short temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek.

The production stars Brian Hargan in the title role, Jeff Stephenson as Lord Farquad, Tammy Frederick as Fiona, Neil Salinas as Donkey, and Deva Neely as the Dragon.

The ensemble features Abbas Hussain, Abbie Brown, Tina Tedesco, Adi Ranganathan, Alexandria Robinson, Alyse Setten, Alyssa Schermel, Angus Carter, Clare Carter, Craig Lee, Dani Shaw, David Moore, F. Darryl Burton, Geeta Bagga, Isabelle Duchêne, Jeffrey Ke, Jordan Sharp, Keira Tomietto, and Laura Schachtler.

The production is directed and choreographed by Renee Beiforte, has music direction by F. Darryl Burton, and features scenic design by Peter Thorman and Danielle Grattage.

Full of all-new songs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, Shrek the Musical is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!

Marquee Theatrical Productions was nominated for two BroadwayWorld Toronto Awards this past theatre season.

Shrek the Musical features Music by Jeanine Tesori, and a Book and Lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire.
