Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film,Shrek The Musical TYA is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrekbrings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.
"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude 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... and his name is Shrek.
In this TYA adaptation developed by The Coterie, a shortened running time and minimized cast size make this the perfect show for families. Full of all of your favorite songs from the full version, great dancing and endless opportunities for creative staging and design, Shrek is a sure-fire hit for your season!
My group is interested in Shrek TYA but I'd like to hear the recording first before committing. Can someone tell me if it's more aligned to the OG Broadway or the JR version? Apparently there's not a TYA recording available. I already have a perusal script. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I teach 7-12th grade, and want to perform Shrek next year can you tell me what wich show would be more beneficial for a smaller school? I was told that any Junior shows were only through ninth grade , is this correct? Also what does Tya mean, and would that be appropriate to perform in a school ?
