North Middle School will present Shrek the Musical on Wednesday, March 14, and Thursday, March 15, at 7:00 p.m., in the school’s auditorium, 77 Polo Road.

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek the Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek the Musical brings all the characters from the film to life on stage and proves there’s more to the story than meets the ears.

Shrek the Musical is the tale of an ogre 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 cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand… and his name is Shrek.

This production will be directed by Arielle Murdocco, vocal music teacher, and produced by Danielle Larson, special education teacher. Tickets are $10 each and may be purchased in advance online or at the door. To purchase tickets online, please visit the North Middle School Theater website at http://nmstheater.weebly.com/. Additional information is available on the North Middle School website.
