The Show

Step into the big, bright, beautiful world of Shrek the Musical!

Following their success with Disney’s Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, Looking Glass Theatre are delighted to bring Shrek the Musical to life, live on stage! Get up close to your favourite characters in this immersive retelling, the perfect family half term experience.

This hilarious, Tony Award-winning musical, tells the story of Shrek and Donkey.  Two stalwart friends off on a whirlwind big city adventure to rescue Princess Fiona from a dragon guarded castle.

Based on the Academy Award-winning animated movie (now celebrating it’s 25th anniversary!), the stage version includes all of your favorite moments from the film, as well as a score by Jeanine Tesor and lyrics and book by David Lindsay-Abaire that will make you fall off your chair with laughter, no matter what your age.

You can even join us for a very special VIP only party in the swamp experience (in partnership with Jollypop Entertainment)!

Book your tickets today and get ready for a magical journey with Shrek and his friends! It’s time to let your Freak Flag fly and celebrate 25 years of this iconic fairy tale adventure!
