Tickets are on sale now for the Brockport High School Drama Club’s 2018 fall production, “Shrek the Musical.” Shows will be held in the Brockport High School auditorium November 8 through 10 at 7 p.m. and November 11 at 2 p.m.
Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, “Shrek the Musical” is a Tony Award-winning fairytale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (known for work in “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and “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. A story of diversity, dreams and love.
Advance-sale tickets are $12 and can be purchased online at www.showtix4u.com or at the Brockport High School greeter’s desk during school hours. Groups of 10 or more get a discounted rate of $10 per ticket. Tickets at the door will be $15.
