Shrek, the Musical! coming to stage at K-M
Another amazing fairy tale comes to life as the Kasson-Mantorville Schools Drama Program presents its 2019 All-School Musical production of DreamWorks’ Shrek, The Musical at the Minnesota WiFi Performing Arts Center at K-M High School.
Adapted from the book, Shrek! by William Steig, and the highly successful Shrek film series, Shrek, The Musical tells the story of Shrek, the loveable but grumpy ogre, on a quest with a hilarious talking Donkey to rescue Princess Fiona from a fire-breathing dragon, so she can marry her “true love” Lord Farquaad. Along with the many fairy tale creatures in the show, Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona discover that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, everyone is special and true love and real friendship aren’t make believe.
Directed by Mel Ferris, with Liz Harwood, assistant director, Maddy Larsen, student assistant director, Andrew Faller, musical director, and Tony Boldt, orchestral director, the show features the acting, singing, dancing and orchestral talents of 60 K-M students in grades 3 through 12, the backstage and artistic talents of another 40 students, and the dedication and hard work of K-M Schools’ parents, staff, and community volunteers. This is a show you do not want to miss!
