SHREK THE MUSICAL

FROME MUSICAL THEATRE COMPANY

Frome Musical Theatre Company is thrilled to be performing Shrek the Musical at the Frome Memorial Theatre from Tuesday May 3rd – Sunday 8th.

Based on the story and characters from the Oscarwinning DreamWorks animation film, Shrek is the story of the swamp-dwelling ogre who, in a faraway kingdom, embarks on a life-changing adventure to reclaim the deed to his land. Joined by a wisecracking donkey, this unlikely hero fights a firebreathing dragon, rescues the feisty Princess Fiona, and learns that real friendship and true love aren’t only found in fairy tales.

Prepare to be transported far far away as we join Shrek and Donkey on their quest to rescue Princess Fiona.

All the beloved characters, including Shrek played by Jon O’Loughlin, Fiona by Nicole Wooldridge, Donkey by Davey Evans, and Lord Farquaad by David Hynds will be brought to life from screen to the stage. With all-new songs, and well known favourite “I’m a Believer” this hilarious and spectacular production turns the world of fairy tales upside down in an allsinging, all-dancing, fast-paced musical comedy. Prepare to be transported far far away as we join Shrek and Donkey on their quest to rescue Princess Fiona. Plus enjoy performances from our Duloc dancers, tap-dancing rats, and your favourite story book characters as you’ve never seen them before. Not forgetting an incredible set of castles, woodlands, a fiery dragon, plus larger than life, vibrant costumes, it is truly enchanting.

The company are ‘ogre’ the moon to be back after a twoyear break with this massive show. This family friendly show is guaranteed to delight audiences of all ages.
