MUSICAL

Part romance and part fractured fairy tale, this ogre-sized family musical is coming to Kalamazoo just in time for the holidays! We hope you’ll join our unlikely hero and his loyal steed Donkey as they embark on their quest to rescue the beautiful (if slightly temperamental) Princess Fiona from a fire-breathing, love-sick dragon. Throw in a bad guy with a short temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale characters, and you’ve got the kind of adventure that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand…and his name is Shrek!
