Performing at the Ames City Auditorium – June 17-26, 2022: SHREK THE MUSICAL JR.
Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in Shrek The Musical JR., based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and subsequent Broadway musical. It’s a “big bright beautiful world” as everyone’s favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance. Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek JR. is a fun show for the whole family.
Directed by Morgan Reetz, with music direction by Sarah Madison.
