‘Shrek The Musical’ takes the stage at Prep’s Main Street

PRESENTS

“Shrek the Musical,” a Hilton Head Prep Production, will be presented Feb. 22-26 at the school’s Main Street Theatre.

Performed by Prep students, the musical is suitable for all ages.

Set in a mythical “once upon a time” sort of land, “Shrek the Musical” is the story of a hulking green ogre who, after being mocked and feared his entire life by anything that crosses his path, retreats to an ugly green swamp to exist in happy isolation.

Suddenly, a gang of homeless fairytale characters (Pinocchio, Cinderella, the Three Pigs, you name it) raid his sanctuary, saying they have been evicted by the vertically challenged Lord Farquaad.

So Shrek strikes a deal: “I’ll get your homes back, if you give me my home back!”

But when Shrek and Farquaad meet, the Lord strikes a deal of his own: He’ll give the fairy-tale characters their homes back, if Shrek rescues Princess Fiona. Shrek obliges and sets out to find

Fiona and return her. Along the way, he finds something appealing – something strange and different – about this pretty princess. He likes her. A lot. But why does she always run off when the sun sets?

Under the direction of Performing Arts Director Patti Maurer and Prep alumna Meredith Ingelsby ’93, this production features Prep seniors Trey Middleton and Hayes Wilkinson as Shrek and Fiona in this energetic, hilarious show that is perfect for the entire family. Prep’s award-winning performing arts department has acquired professional production elements for the students to experience and the Lowcountry will surely enjoy the imaginative costumes from the “Shrek” Las Vegas production. Performances will be at 7p.m. Feb. 2225 and 2 p.m. Feb. 25-26 at the Hilton Head Preparatory School Main Street Theatre, 3000 Main St. on Hilton Head Island.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for students and can be purchased online at hhprep.org or at the door.

Based on a story and characters by Damon Runyon. Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser. Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows. Guys and Dolls Junior is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International’s Broadway Junior Collection.
