It’s a “Big Bright Beautiful World” as everyone’s favourite ogre Shrek leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance.

Shrek the Musical JNR is based on the DreamWorks Animation Motion Picture and the Book by William Steig from the Broadway Junior Collection.

In the St Anne’s production, Shrek is being played by Year 5 student Ashton Carroll and Princess Fiona is Hannah Mack, also in Year 5. But, as was the case with the original movie, of course Donkey played by Year 6 student Oscar Callanan steals the show.

Director Katie Germaine said it would be a spectacular journey through the land of fairytales and encouraged the community to get behind these amazingly talented student performers.
