Description:

The company is holding auditions for "Shrek the musical" show and looking for performers, please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: 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 brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there’s more to the story than meets the ears. “Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek….” And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero 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. Additional info: Prepare 16 bars of a song of your choice, not from the show, which reflects the style of the show and/or highlights your skills. This portion of the audition will be a cappella. Read from the script at the Director’s discretion PERFORMANCE DATES: Friday, September 19, 2025, at 7:00 PM Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 7:00 PM Sunday, September 21, 2025 at 2:30PM Friday, September 26, 2025, at 7:00 PM Saturday, September 27, 2025, at 7:00 PM Sunday, September 28, at 2:30 PM Please apply if interested.
