Big, green, and ready to take the stage—Shrek and his quirky crew are set to entertain audiences at the Tobin Center with a live performance of Shrek: The Musical. Mark your calendars for July 23-24 when the Tony Award-winning musical, based on the beloved animated Shrek films, will bring a little bit of Far Far Away to San Antonio. FOX San Antonio has the scoop on ticket sales for this event that's designed for audience members of every age group.
With music by the award-winning Jeanine Tesori, the show promises to deliver all the charm of the original DreamWorks feature straight to the stage, as noted by San Antonio Theater. The plot, revolves around a green-hued hero and his chatty sidekick on an unconventional quest that shakes up a colorful world of fairy-tale creatures, and Lord Farquaad, a king with stature as small as his temper is short.
Fans will witness the adaptation penned by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire come to life, delivering laughs, heartfelt messages, and catchy tunes to the theater district. With a spectrum of fairy-tale misfits, including Pinocchio and The Three Little Pigs, making appearances, there is action for every audience member, young or not so young. As the characters journey to rescue a princess from a seemingly insurmountable challenge, the musical celebrates themes of adventure, friendship, and true love.
Tickets are available now, and if history serves as any indicator, they're likely to sell faster than you can say "Donkey!" The Tobin Center promises to transform into a magical place where the fairy-tale world of Shrek comes to life. With its whimsical production, the musical remains true to its animated roots while presenting an experience that's uniquely theatrical, and yes, complete with a live dragon. San Antonio's own Tobin Center will be your gateway to this enchanted world— just avoid getting caught up in any ogre-sized traffic on your way there.
