Musical theatre is like an onion, it has layers of people working hard to produce the best show possible. The Broke Thespians Theatre company spent many months working magic to bring “Shrek the Musical” to life. From casting, rehearsals, costume and prop making, set design and building, the theatre company relied on its cast members and crew to produce a Broadway-quality show. The musical ran weekends in July at Plaza Park and was free and open to the public.
“Shrek the Musical” is a Tony-award-winning stage adaptation of the Oscar-winning 2002 animated feature, Shrek. The musical follows the outline of the original movie with new songs and a theme of acceptance, belonging and overcoming prejudice.
The San Marcos community embraced the ogre, with over 600 in attendance on opening night and hundreds in attendance for each show.
