Spring Woods High School is excited to present the hit Broadway production Shrek the Musical and we would love our Spring Shadows community to enjoy the show!
Set in a mythical world of “once upon a time”, Shrek the Musical is the story of a hulking green ogre who, after a lifetime of being mocked and feared by anything that crosses his path, has retreated to his own personal heaven (an ugly green swamp) to exist in happy isolation. His solitude is interrupted by a gang of homeless fairy-tale characters (Pinocchio, Cinderella, the Three Pigs, you name ‘em) who say they’ve been evicted from their homes by the vertically challenged Lord Farquaad. Shrek agrees to help them if they promise to leave his home, but Lord Farquaad first requires Shrek rescue Princess Fiona. As Shrek is in the process of delivering on his promise, he meets the hysterical Donkey and comes to realize he likes the rescued princess more than he expected. But why does she always run off when the sun sets?
The show runs Friday, January 26 through Saturday, February 3rd with performances Fridays, Saturdays, and Mondays during that period at 7:00 pm and matinees both Saturdays at 2:00 pm.
You can enjoy Shrek in the Main auditorium at the SWHS campus at 2045 Gessner Rd, Houston, Texas.
