MIX UP REVIEWS:
Sophie (Age 10) - ★★★★★
“Energetic, awesome and hilarious, Shrek the musical did not disappoint! An extremely talented cast sang, danced and joked their way across the stage! With excellent original songs and choreography I sat with a big smile across my face the whole evening!
Some of my favourite songs were ‘this is the story of my life, ‘I think I’ve got you beat’ and of course ‘I’m a believer!’
The puppetry was amazing and the way they portrayed ‘Gingie’ and the dragon was so funny!
My favourite characters were Donkey, the a gingerbread man and Lord Farquard.
I would definitely recommend this show! Fun for all the family! The cast received a standing ovation at the end and it was so well deserved! ”
