Opening on Monday, 1 June and ending on Sunday, 2 August, this show is a must-see for children and adults who fell in love with the hilarious yet heart-warming movie.
Shrek: The Musical Jr is based on the 2001 Oscar-winning animated comedy by the DreamWorks production stable. Adapted for the stage and featuring a vibrant cast of South African professional actors, this laugh-a-minute production will be directed by the Peoples Theatre’s Jill Girard and Keith Smith.
Audiences are invited to join Shrek and the wise-cracking Donkey and a host of familiar fairy-tale characters as they set out to rescue the feisty Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded tower – while at the same time saving the kingdom from the clutches of the evil Lord Farquaad. Expect heaps of laughter, action, unexpected twists and musical favourites along the way.
Andile Magxaki stars as Shrek, with Jana Louw as Princess Fiona. Kyra Green, Palesa Makhalima, Thiart Li, Yamikani Mahaka-Phiri, Christopher Vale and Jessica Willmore also star as an array of colourful characters in this fantasy romp.
Billed as “part romance and part twisted fairy-tale”, Shrek: The Musical Jr promises energetic fun for the whole family.
