PITA and I saw Shrek The Musical on Broadway – I couldn’t believe how much fun it was!  Looking for a great show the entire family can enjoy, grab these preview-priced tickets now.  Listening to Pinocchio whine about his life sucking pine saaaaap is worth the price of the ticket by itself!

Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s annual summer family musical this year is Shrek The Musical.  Based on the Oscar-winning animated movie, Shrek The Musical brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favorite ogre to life on stage. Shrek just wants to be left alone in his beautiful swamp, but exiled fairy tale characters keep showing up on his doorstep. Finally, he agrees to confront the diminutive yet ruthless Lord Farquaad and hopefully regain his privacy. Joined by a wise-cracking donkey, Shrek embarks on a life-changing adventure as an unlikely hero who fights a fearsome dragon and rescues the cursed Princess Fiona. He not only saves the day, but also discovers the value of friendship and realizes that true love is more than skin deep. CST’s production stars two Jeff-Award winning actors, Michael Aaron Lindner as the lovable ogre Shrek and Summer Naomi Smart in her CST debut as the spunky Princess Fiona.
