Haddonfield Plays and Players presents "Shrek, The Musical"

originally published: 12/30/2025

(HADDONFIELD, NJ) -- Haddonfield Plays and Players presents Shrek, The Musical weekends from January 16-31, 2026. Everyone's favorite ogre is back in the hilarious stage spectacle based on the Oscar-winning, smash hit film.

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.

"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, 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.

Performances take place Friday, January 16 at 8:00pm; Saturday, January 17 at 8:00pm; Sunday, January 18 at 3:00pm; Thursday, January 22 at 8:00pm; Friday, January 23 at 8:00pm; Saturday, January 24 at 3:00pm & 8:00pm; Sunday, January 25 at 3:00pm; Thursday, January 29 at 8:00pm; Friday, January 30 at 8:00pm; and Saturday, January 31 at 3:00pm & 8:00pm.

Tickets are available for purchase online.  The theater is located at 957 E Atlantic Avenue in Haddonfield, New Jersey.
