PUTNAM — Be aware! Putnam soon will be taken over by an ogre, donkey and princess as “Shrek the Musical” comes to the Bradley Playhouse. This hilarious production turns the world of fairytales upside down in a singing, dancing, must-see musical comedy.

The TNECT performance of Shrek the Musical is co-directed by William Corriveau and Keri Danner. Ms. Danner is also the choreographer, Joshua Smith is the music director and Emily Zornado handles vocal direction. Shrek is played by Joshua Raymond and his loyal Donkey is Zach Scovish. Courtney Contente appears as Princess Fiona and Lord Farquaad is played by Joseph Sawyer. They are joined by a large cast of singing, dancing fairytale characters.
Broadway by DreamWorks Theatricals and Neal Street Productions.
The ogre Shrek, an unlikely hero, and his loyal steed Donkey, set off on a quest to rescue the beautiful (if slightly temperamental) Princess Fiona from a tower guarded by a dragon. Add the vertically challenged Lord Farquaad and a gang of fairytale misfits and you get a mix of adventure, laughter and romance guaranteed to delight audiences of all ages.
Shrek the Musical is based on the DreamWorks Animation motion picture and the book by William Steig.
