Shrek the Musical, a Hilton Head Prep Production to be held February 22-26 at the Hilton Head Preparatory School Main Street Theatre.

Set in a mythical “once upon a time” sort of land, Shrek the Musical is the story of a hulking green ogre who, after being mocked and feared his entire life by anything that crosses his path, retreats to an ugly green swamp to exist in happy isolation. Suddenly, a gang of homeless fairy-tale characters (Pinocchio, Cinderella, the Three Pigs, you name it) raid his sanctuary, saying they’ve been evicted by the vertically challenged Lord Farquaad. So Shrek strikes a deal: I’ll get your homes back, if you give me my home back! But when Shrek and Farquaad meet, the Lord strikes a deal of his own: He’ll give the fairy-tale characters their homes back, if Shrek rescues Princess Fiona. Shrek obliges, yet finds something appealing–something strange and different–about this pretty princess. He likes her. A lot. But why does she always run off when the sun sets? 

Under the direction of HHPREP Performing Arts Director, Patti Maurer and HHPREP Alumna, Meredith Ingelsby, this production features HHPREP seniors, Trey Middleton and Hayes Wilkinson as Shrek and Fiona in this energetic, hilarious show that is perfect for the entire family! HHPREP’s award winning performing arts department acquires professional production elements for the students to experience and the Lowcountry will surely enjoy the imaginative costumes from the Shrek Las Vegas production! 

Performances will be held at 7:00pm February 22-25 and 2:00pm February 25&26 at the Hilton Head Preparatory School Main Street Theatre. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for students.
