8 role s
A2-G#4. A big, green, terrifying ogre who lives alone on a swamp. He embarks on a journey to rid his land of fairytale creatures. Begins as a grumpy hermit, but reveals his layers and eventually becomes the hero.
F3-G5. The beautiful princess of Far Far Away. Rescued by Shrek and eventually falls in love with him. Quirky, blunt, and multitalented, she is not an ordinary princess.
C3-B4. A talking donkey who joins Shrek on the run from Farquaad's guards. Quite the chatterbox. Easily frightened and pushy, but also an optimistic with heart.
B2-D5. The comically short, ruthless ruler of Duloc. Has an intensely unfair bias against fairytale creatures. Self-absorbed, lonely, and cruel.
F3 - Eb5. A dragon that has been charged with guarding Princess Fiona in her isolated castle. Imposing and flirtatious, but tired of her job as the glorified babysitter.
B3-C#5. Puppet voiced by Sugar Plum Fairy. A gingerbread man kidnapped by Lord Farquaad. His wit and resolution help him both avoid trouble and inspire the other fairy tale creatures.
E3 - F#4. The leader of the fairytale creatures. He is an animated puppet whose nose grows every time he lies. Plenty of sass with a penchant for lying.
