Big news, Northwest Arkansas mamas! This week’s giveaway is HUGE — four tickets to see Shrek the Musical at Walton Arts Center at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 29, 2024. The opening night performance completely sold out, so Walton Arts Center added a second performance for the next night so more NWA families can see it.
Here’s your chance to let your kids see their favorite grumpy ogre and his wise-crackin’ donkey go on a grand adventure.
ABOUT THE SHOW:
“Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek….” And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Yes, your favorite ogre is back in the hilarious stage spectacle based on the Oscar®-winning, smash hit, DreamWorks animated film. Tony Award-winning duo Jeanine Tesori (music) and David Lindsay-Abaire (book) revisit their first collaboration to deliver a more intimate and engaging experience – a joyful, colorful SHREK that leans into the humanity in all of us that celebrates our differences.
With all-new original direction and choreography by Danny Mefford (Choreographer, Dear Evan Hansen) filled with lush orchestrations, this reimagined production brings the show back to its roots – giving it a new kind of love emphasizing the importance of loving ourselves and one another.
