Grandstreet Theatre is staging Shrek the Musical this summer, bringing the DreamWorks animated film to life on the Walking Mall-adjacent stage with what the theater promises will be a production suited for all ages.
The show follows the familiar story of a grumpy ogre who sets out to reclaim his swamp and ends up on an unlikely adventure alongside a fast-talking donkey and a cast of fairy tale characters. The musical version, based on the 2001 Oscar-winning film, adds original songs to the story Helena audiences likely already know.
Grandstreet has been Helena's community theater home for decades, and its summer productions regularly draw families from across Lewis and Clark County. Shrek represents the kind of broad-audience programming the theater has built its reputation on.
Ticket and performance schedule information is available through Grandstreet Theatre directly. Performances are running now.
