Shrek - Coming to a swamp near you this year!

Our show of the year last year hits the road this year and its one not to miss..


Producers of the rather fab SHREK THE MUSICAL today announced that the larger-than-life production will be heading to swamps across the country on its first ever tour of UK and Ireland, from July this year. 

Coming direct from London, where it was seen live on stage by nearly a million people, the (UK and Ireland) tour of the Drury Lane production of SHREK THE MUSICAL will be directed by Nigel Harman who starred as Lord Farquaad in the west end production, winning him the 2012 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Performance in a Supporting Role in a Musical.

SHREK THE MUSICAL will open at the Grand Theatre in our lovely home city of Leeds on Wednesday 23rd July followed by dates in Bristol, Nottingham, Belfast, Dublin, Oxford, Manchester, Aberdeen, Canterbury, Newcastle, Glasgow and Sheffield with further venues still to be announced. 

Bill Damaschke, Chief Creative Officer of DreamWorks told us "We are thrilled that Shrek and his fairy-tale friends will be heading out on tour across the UK and Ireland and delighted that our very own Nigel Harman will be directing Shrek on the road. It has been such a joy to bring this loved story to life and we can’t wait for families up and down the country to experience their beloved swamp-dwelling ogre, Princess Fiona, Donkey and all their pals live on stage, as so many have on Broadway and in the west end.
