KMS students star in 'Shrek The Musical, Jr.'

Team up with Arts Alive! to perform Broadway version of hit film

Posted

Arts Alive! and young thespians from Kickemuit Middle School bring "Shrek The Musical, Jr." with two shows on Saturday, May 17, at 1 and 7 p.m.

Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in "Shrek The Musical, Jr.", based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and 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 The Musical, Jr." is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family. With abundant opportunities for imaginative sets and costumes, and a host of over-the-top roles for an expandable cast, there's something to enjoy for everyone in this dazzling adventure story.

General admission tickets are $10 and will be available online at artsaliveri.org as well as at the door (cash and Venmo) before each performance.
