Grandstreet Theatre is bringing Shrek The Musical to its stage, giving Helena families a chance to see the DreamWorks story live with a cast of fairy tale characters in full green-skinned production. The show follows the grumpy ogre Shrek as he sets out to reclaim his swamp, accompanied by a fast-talking Donkey and a roster of misfit characters from the animated films.
Grandstreet, which has operated as Helena's community theatre for decades, regularly programs family-friendly musicals alongside more adult fare. Shrek The Musical — based on the Oscar-winning 2001 film — has become a staple of community and school theatre since its Broadway debut, known for its accessible humor and large ensemble numbers that give casts room to play.
Ticket and performance date information is available through Grandstreet Theatre's box office on North Last Chance Gulch. The show is expected to draw strong family attendance given the source material's multigenerational fanbase.
