DIRECT from the West End and larger than life, Shrek The Musical will roll into Oxford’s New Theatre from November 12 to 23.

Based on the award-winning DreamWorks animation, it is a must-see show for all the family.

Join the unlikely hero and his loyal steed, Donkey, as they embark on a quest to rescue the beautiful, if slightly temperamental, Princess Fiona from a fire breathing, love-sick dragon.

Add the diminutive Lord Farquaad, a gang of fairytale misfits, and a biscuit with attitude, and you’ve got a big, bright musical comedy.

Featuring all new songs as well as cult Shrek anthem I’m a Believer, Shrek the Musical brings all much-loved characters to life, live on stage, in an all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza.

Tickets cost between £10 and £42.50. To book go to www.atgtickets.com/shows/shrek-the-musical/new-theatre-oxford or call 0844 8713020.
