Shrek The Musical JR.

Shrek The Musical JR.
Everyone's favorite ogre is back in this hilarious stage spectacle, based on the Oscar-winning smash hit film and outrageous Broadway musical.



Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in Shrek The Musical JR., based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and fantastic Broadway musical.  It's a "big bright beautiful world" as everyone's favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance.  Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek JR. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.

Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek.  One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he's handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn't be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.

With abundant opportunities for imaginative sets and costumes, and a host of over-the-top roles for an expandable cast, there's a part for everyone in this dazzling adventure story.

How many Video Licenses to buy?
I'm doing Shrek the Musical Jr and I would like to video tape it one night for my students and their families. Do need to get a video license for every night, or just the one I plan on filming. No recordings will be made during any other performances. Do I need to buy 4 (one for each scheduled performance), or just one for the night I plan to record?

Selling items at a performance?
We have licensed Shrek Jr with MTI. We will be performing this production on Aug 4,5,6 and 11,12,13. We were contacted by the company HeartlandCostumes.com. They have items that you can purchase to sell at your event as a fund raiser. They offered shrek like green ear head bands to us for a cost. They do NOT say Shrek on them anywhere. We wanted to check with MTI to see if this is alright to do as a fund raiser?
