Character Breakdown

Cast Size

Camp Broadway MyWay recommends a minimum of 14 and a maximum of 50 in the ensemble. Ensemble is divided into 2 groups.

Gigi Amsterdam

George Amsterdam

One of the narrators of the Prologue and Epilogue, which open and close the show. Gigi’s younger sibling, George, has a natural gift for storytelling and is unafraid to try anything. George and Gigi are time travelers who hold the key to Broadway’s past, present, and future.

Shrek

A physically intimidating, somewhat short-tempered ogre who sets out on a journey to rid his land of fairytale creatures by rescuing Princess Fiona. By the tale’s end, he reveals himself to be a reluctant hero with a huge heart.

Fiona

She may appear to be an ideal princess directly from fairytale books, but there is much more to her than that stereotypical image. She can take care of herself and, in the end, will remain true to herself.

Gender: female
Storytellers

They help shape the whimsical fairytale tone and drive the story.

Note: Some ensemble members represent recognizable characters throughout the show. For instance, Storyteller 10 delivers a few lines as Lord Farquaad and Fairytale Character 3,4, & 5 deliver lines as the Three Pigs. All lines outside of the main characters are shared by the ensemble to tell the story and give everyone a moment to shine.

Fairytale Characters

Familiar to all of us, they represent the heart of the story and lead the anthem “Freak Flag.”
