Liverpool Empire
Please note: this is an amateur production.
Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, this big, bright, beautiful musical brings 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 biscuit with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got an enchanting, all-singing, all-dancing musical comedy.
Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori and a side-splitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire.
With fabulous costumes, scenery and puppets (including a fire-breathing dragon), this production is fantastic fun for the whole family.
This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Europe). All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI Europe.
BOST Musicals is an award-winning musical theatre company, who have previously brought Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Annie, Oliver! and White Christmas to the Liverpool Empire.
Liverpool Empire
In 1866, Liverpool Empire began its life as The Prince of Wales Theatre and Opera House and was run by gas light and steam power. The name changed to what it is today in 1895, so has had its name for over 100 years. It went through many refurbishments, before being bought by ATG and the theatre now stands about a quarter size bigger than it originally stood.
