A Balham estate agent could easily direct you to the famous Theatre Royal on Drury Lane in London’s West End. Audiences are already clamouring for tickets to the Theatre Royal’s latest production opening in May 2011 – Shrek the Musical, a fairytale with a difference.
Shrek the Musical is of course based on the 2001 DreamWorks animated comedy, Shrek, which charmed moviegoers as it turned fairytale traditions upside-down. Shrek the Musical follows the same story that kids and adults have grown to love, portraying a grumpy green-skinned ogre as a reluctant hero in place of the “handsome prince” of conventional fairytales. The loveable talking donkey sidekick, the feisty princess with a secret to hide, and the host of fairytale creatures from the original movie are all included in Shrek the Musical – which also features fresh new scenes and an original musical score which earned it one of several Tony nominations.
