Shrek the Musical

A hilarious and heartwarming adaptation of the popular animated film, bringing the fairytale misfit story to life on stage

Abu Dhabi’s most beloved community theater company premieres their production of Shrek The Musical. The show follows Shrek, a grumpy but lovable ogre, who embarks on a quest to rescue the feisty Princess Fiona for the scheming Lord Farquaad, in exchange for reclaiming his swamp. Along the way, Shrek is joined by a lively cast of fairytale characters, including his wisecracking sidekick, Donkey. Together, they challenge stereotypes, discover the meaning of friendship, and prove that beauty lies within. With vibrant songs and witty humor, Shrek The Musical celebrates individuality and self-acceptance, and is suitable for the whole family.
