Back to the Swamp, and Glad to Be There
Shrek The Musical Jr. is back, and it is as joyful, irreverent, and quietly radical as ever. This is a fairy tale for everyone who has ever felt like they didn't quite fit the mould, told with colour, comedy, and a whole lot of heart. A brilliant afternoon out for the whole family.
