SHREK The Musical Opens March 20

SHREK THE MUSICAL is taking ogre Toronto! Dancap Productions presents SHREK THE MUSICAL with book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire and music by Jeanine Tesori, running March 20–April 1 only at the Toronto Centre for the Arts.

A new musical which opened on Broadway December, 2009, SHREK THE MUSICAL is 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, Shrek fights a fearsome dragon, rescues a feisty princess and learns that real friendship and true love aren't only found in fairy tales.

"We are thrilled that NETworks will be sending SHREK THE MUSICAL to theatres across the country," said Bill Damaschke, President of DreamWorks Theatricals, "and for families to experience their favorite ogre and fairy tale creatures live on stage."
