Shrek The Musical
Sunderland Empire
Until Sunday

Believe all ‘ogre’ again! The UK and Ireland tour of SHREK THE MUSICAL® has taken ‘ogre’ Sunderland Empire until 11 February 2018.
Leading
the cast as beloved swamp-dwelling ogre ‘Shrek’ is Steffan Harri, having previously starred in the original UK tour of
SHREK
THE MUSICAL®, and Call the Midwife star Laura Main who plays ‘Princess Fiona’
Sunderland and selected venues*. Marcus
Ayton stars as Shrek’s wisecracking sidekick ‘Donkey’ and Samuel Holmes as pint-sized villain
‘Lord Farquaad’.
Join our unlikely
hero Shrek and his loyal steed Donkey as they embark on a quest to rescue
Princess Fiona from a fire-breathing, love-sick dragon. Add
the diminutive Lord Farquaad, a gang of fairytale misfits and a biscuit with
attitude, and you’ve got the biggest, brightest musical comedy around!
Featuring all new songs as well as cult Shrek anthem I’m a Believer, SHREK THE
MUSICAL brings over 100 much-loved fairytale characters,
plus a 14-foot dragon, to life in an all-singing, all-dancing
extravaganza.
