The community is cordially invited to enjoy Hamilton Heights High School Drama Department’s production of Shrek Jr. The Musical, where beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.
Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and the hit Broadway musical, this family-friendly show brings humor, heart, and a fresh twist to a beloved story.
Everyone’s favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and reclaim his swamp – discovering along the way that true beauty comes from within. Part romance and part delightfully twisted fairytale, Shrek Jr. delivers big laughs and a powerful message for audiences of all ages.
