Further details revealed for SHREK THE MUSICAL UK & Ireland tour

Following our reports back in April, further details have been announced for the brand-new production of the award-winning Broadway and West End hit show Shrek the  Musical, which will tour the UK and Ireland from July 2023.

The bright and beautiful fairy-tale world of Shrek will be reimagined by a new creative team for this major tour. Having played Lord Farquaad in the previous UK tour, Sam Holmes (Club Tropicana the Musical) returns to the swamp to co-direct, alongside acclaimed director and choreographer Nick Winston. The set and costume design will be by Philip Witcomb, with further creatives to be announced in due course.

Shrek the Musical opens at Plymouth Theatre Royal on 21 July 2023 before visiting Manchester, Dublin, Bristol, Southend, Carlisle, Aberdeen, Oxford, Wimbledon, Dartford,  Northampton, Bradford, Woking, Eastbourne, Cardiff, York and Blackpool, with more dates  to be announced soon.

Producer Mark Goucher said: “I am delighted to be bringing this re-imagined production of the beloved Shrek the Musical to audiences across the UK and Ireland. The story of Shrek is known and  loved across the world and this show is an incredibly joyous, fun and uplifting evening at the  theatre that will be enjoyed by all ages.”
