4 Quotes from a Review that Means You Should’ve Already Gotten Your Shrek Ticket

Written by Rosemarie O’Connor

As you already know, Shrek the Musical is running this weekend. You only have five more chances to let your freak flag fly, become a believer, and tell your life story. (If you see the show, you’ll get all of those references, just saying!)

But, it’s not just here at Encore that know we have got something special going with this production. Here are 7 quotes from a Review that Means You Should’ve Already Gotten Your Shrek Tickets:

1) “There were a few musical numbers in this show that I really enjoyed. Choreographer Kelsey Meiklejohn did a great job with “What’s Up, Duloc?,” where the dancers moved somewhat robotically, as if they were puppets on strings.” -Julia L. Exline, D.C. Metro Theater Arts

2)”Tap-dancing rats are always a good idea!” -Julia L. Exline, D.C. Metro Theater Arts (Once again, see the show and you’ll fully understand. All you need to know is that yes, there are tap-dancing rats!”)

3) “Costume Designer Debra Leonard uses found bit and pieces– from face paint and tutus, to colored pajama bottoms– to create an ensemble of fairy tale characters, all easily recognizable.” -Julia L. Exline, D.C. Metro Theater Arts (Some of our cast are living the dream with pj costumes)

4)”Overall, Encore Stage and Studio’s production of Shrek, the Musical is a good way for the family to escape the summer heat!” -Julia L. Exline, D.C. Metro Theater Arts (Need we say more?)

We have shows Thursday the 23rd, Friday the 24th, and Saturday the 25th of July at 7:30 pm and Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of July at 2:00 pm. You can buy tickets online or at the door. The box office opens an hour before each performance. We hope to see you there so you can enjoy the big, bright beautiful world of Shrek the Musical. (Yes, that was another show reference that you will understand before you know it.)
