Description
Based on the Oscar-winning animation film, Shrek The Musical is the Tony Award-winning adventure-filled musical playing in the Cosumnes Oaks High School Performing Arts Center from April 26- May 4.
Shrek the Musical tells the story of an unlikely hero forced on a journey alongside a witty donkey and a feisty princess. Written by David Lindsay-Abaire (The Rabbit Hole, Good People) with music by Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Violet), Shrek the Musical is a whimsical and modern twist on the traditional fairytale. Shrek The Musical brings all of your favorite storybook characters to life in a story that everyone in the family can appreciate. Throw in a short tempered villian, a sassy cookie, 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; his name is Shrek, and he proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre. Shrek The Musical was nominated for seven Tony Awards in 2009 (including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, Best Orchestrations), winning the Tony for Best Costume Design. It also received 12 Drama Desk Award nominations winning Outstanding Actor in a Musical, Outstanding Set Design, and Outstanding Costume Design. Shrek also won the Grammy award for Best Musical Show Album. The London production also was nominated for Best New Musical, Best Actor, and Best Costume Design.
