Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears. Follow the tale of a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, 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. (As written on Music Theatre International’s website.)
 
Shrek The Musical will be presented in the Thomasville Municipal Auditorium on February 6, 7 and 8, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. on the 6th and 7th and 2:00 p.m. on the 8th.
