Shrek the Musical Theatre Breaks

Shrek the Musical theatre breaks - see what's available Shrek the Musical is a great choice for family theatre breaks. The music is excellent, costumes and puppetry have to be seen to be believed and the show can genuinely be enjoyed by all ages. The show is perfect for family groups but funny enough to keep adults entertained too. Shrek the Musical is currently playing at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Shrek The musical is based on the story and characters from William Steig’s book Shrek! and the Oscar-winning film about the lovable green ogre. There can’t be many people with children who don’t know the story. The films have been so popular on video that many children, and some of their parents, will know them off by heart. The stage show stays close to the film but there are some surprises too. It is your basic boy meets princess/donkey meets dragon fairy tale with a few delightful twists. The show has lots of new songs and even a version of Neil Diamond’s I’m A Believer, which was a big hit for The Monkees. It played on Broadway from December 2008 to January 2010 and won a Tony Award for Best Costume Design. We really enjoyed the excerts from the show at this year’s West End Live:
The official trailer looks good too:
The Cast of Shrek The Musical Amanda Holden Shrek The Musical Amanda Holden Amanda Holden is perhaps best known as one of the judges from Britain’s Got Talent and plays Princess Fiona, the female lead in Shrek The Musical. You might be surprised to learn that she has a good track record in West End musicals and was nominated for an award for her performance in Thoroughly Modern Millie. Nigel Lindsey Nigel Lindsay plays Shrek. You might have seen him in any number of TV shows including Spooks, Silent Witness, Waking the Dead, Midsomer Murders, New Tricks and Between the Lines. He was last seen in the West End at the Duke of York’s Theatrein the David Eldridge play Under the Blue Sky. Nigel Harman Nigel Harman has been cast as Lord Farquaad . You’ll probably know him from EastEnders where he played heart-throb Dennis Rickman. He has also worked extensively in theatre, with roles including Three Days of Rain at the Apollo, Sky Masterson in Guys and Dolls at the Piccadilly Theatre and on tour, True West at the Sheffield Crucible and Privates on Parade at the Donmar Warehouse. Richard Blackwood Shrek The Musical Donkey meets Dragon Richard Blackwood plays the Donkey. You might think of him as mostly a comedian and media personality but he is good actor too. Last year we saw him when he played Brightie in Tennessee Williams’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with the Braodway cast including Adrian Lester and James Earl Jones at the Novello Theatre in London. He is ideal for this role as the fast talking, wise cracking donkey, originally created in the film by Eddie Murphy. You can hear the cast talking about their roles and explaining why the show is not just for children in this little video:
