Shrek – the musical has opened at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London, to rave reviews and mass excitement.
Starring Kimberly Walsh as Princess Fiona, Nigel Lindsay as Shrek, Richard Blackwood as Donkey, and a brilliant show stealing performance from Nigel Harman as Lord Farquaad, this show is not short of stars and at the Theatre Royal is as “West End” as you can get – so a perfect highlight to a London Theatre Break.
Shrek – the musical manages to entertain both adults and ankle-biters to such an extent that you feel it is a proper grown-up night out at the theatre (which is great because the kiddies get that too and behave!).
Anyway that is all thanks to writer David Lindsay-Abaire and directors Jason Moore & Rob Ashcroft with some super music provided by Jeanine Tesori.
Take a Shrek – the musical theatre break and join our unlikely hero, and his loyal steed Donkey, as they set off on an adventure to rescue the beautiful (if slightly temperamental) Princess Fiona, from her tower, guarded by a fire breathing love-sick dragon. Add a wannabe King with a height complex, a bunch of fairytale superstars, and a biscuit with an attitude to this family theatre break, and you’ve got this year’s must see new musical comedy – Shrek. Shrek – the Musical brings the characters, loved by all ages, magically to life, in a spectacular and hilarious new production for Theatre Breaks which turns the world of fairytales upside down in an all singing, all dancing, irresistible mix of magic, laughter and romance featuring an all new score, as well as cult Shrek anthem – I’m a Believer.
Kimberley Walsh, who has achieved a host of number one hits alongside Cheryl Cole and the rest of Girls Aloud, has taken over from Amanda Holden as Princess Fiona in the Shrek – the musical.
