Grandstreet Theatre is staging Shrek The Musical, the Broadway adaptation of the Oscar-winning DreamWorks film, offering Helena families a chance to see the beloved ogre and his fast-talking donkey companion come to life on a local stage. The production promises the full fairy tale misfit treatment — Shrek, Donkey, Princess Fiona, and the rest — in what the theater is billing as a show for all ages.

Grandstreet, which has operated as Helena's community theater for decades, has built a reputation for mounting musicals that draw both seasoned performers and younger cast members from across the valley. Shrek The Musical, with its broad humor and recognizable characters, fits the theater's tradition of programming that fills seats across generations.

Ticket and performance date information is available through Grandstreet Theatre directly. The Walking Mall location makes it an easy evening out for families coming from around the Helena area.
