Shrek the Musical is returning to London for a six-week run in summer 2024, and we’re simply ogre the moon about it.

Shrek was first released in June 2001 (if you can believe it) and the world has never been the same. Since then, we’ve seen multiple Shrek movies, spin-offs, Shrek’s Adventure, and even an entirely Shrek-themed Airbnb – we just can’t get enough.

One of the biggest things to come in the wake of the Shrek movies was Shrek the Musical. This hilarious production combines elements of the stories from all of the movies and the book Shrek! by William Steig (who knew there was a book?) and is packed full of energetic song and dance numbers. It delighted audiences in Broadway, the West End and other places far far away, and now our favourite swamp-dwellers are back to entertain us once more.

Starring Antony Lawrence (The Lion King, Matilda the Musical) as Shrek, Joanne Clifton (Strictly Come Dancing, The Addams Family) as Fiona and Brandon Lee Sears (Dreamgirls, Come From Away) as Donkey, this is sure to be a Shrek-tacular performance.

To help keep you from feeling ogre-whelmed, we’ve put together the ultimate guide to securing tickets for Shrek the Musical, from performance dates to ticket prices.
