See 'Shrek the Musical' at Walled Lake Western High School

Walled Lake Western High School Performing Arts Department's production of Shrek The Musical opens this weekend at the school on 600 Beck Road, Walled Lake.
 
The cast of 60 high school cast members, 20 non-high school cast members, 25 students working in the technical crew and 25 students in the pit orchestra will perform Nov. 14-17 and Nov. 21-24. Students in leading roles include Carter Jones as Shrek; Rachel Zack as Princess Fiona; Noah Miller as Donkey; Sam Bloch as Lord Farquaad; and Emma Murphy as Pinocchio.
 
To reclaim his swamp from squatting, displaced fairy creatures, the ogre Shrek must rescue the dragon-guarded Princess Fiona and deliver her to Lord Farquaad, who must marry a princess to become a king and make his land of Dulac into a real kingdom. Along the way, Shrek meets magical friends and even learns a lesson or two.
                                                                                    
Choir director Greg Cleveland said the show will delight audiences of all ages.  

"It's a show for those who have not experienced much live theater before, since the story is simple as Shrek, but it's also an evening for theater lovers, in that the spectacle of the night will be quite beyond belief," he said. "Shrek The Musical closed on Broadway, but now it's your chance to see, hear and experience it like only Walled Lake Western can present it.”
