On Stage This Weekend: "Shrek the Musical"

   There's only one show on stage this weekend - and it stars a big green ogre!

   It's Shrek the Musical, of course. Curtains Up Players presents the first local production of the Broadway musical based on the animated film about the hilarious story of everyone’s favorite ogre as he tries to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up, a villain with a short temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand… and his name is Shrek.

   The show will be presented at the Jeslyn Performing Arts Center at 1030 4th Avenue on Sept. 12 and 13 at 8 p.m and Sept. 14 at 2:30 p.m. and 8 p.m., closing with a matinee at 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 15.

   Don't miss it!
