Preview of Rosarian Academy's Shrek the Musical JR - Morning Person

Rosarian Academy | www.rosarian.org | Take a sneak peak at Princess Fiona singing "Morning Person" in Rosarian Academy’s performance of Shrek The Musical Jr. which will send the audience ogre-the-moon. The family-friendly musical comedy follows the adventures of an ogre named Shrek who sets off on a quest to save a princess from a dragon. However, it turns out that in order to ultimately succeed, Shrek must battle an even bigger obstacle: learning how to believe in himself and open his heart to others. Filled with adventure, romance and hilarity, you will quickly be a believer that love is not something that only happens in fairytales and that Pinoccio’s nose can grow.

Shrek's cast of 43 fourth through eighth graders is anchored by eighth-grader Jake Kaywell (Shrek), sixth-graders Sailor Kate Ashley (Donkey) and Skyler White (Pinocchio) and fifth-grader Grace Trainor (Princess Fiona). The musical is produced and directed by Robert Sherman, with musical direction by Gay Dedo and choreography by Jeanne Bennet and Francesca Coniglio.

Shrek The Musical is based on the original 2001 Oscar®-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek, and will be presented Saturday, April 25, 2015, at 7:30 pm and Sunday, April 26 at 2:30 pm, in Rosarian’s 485-seat professional theater.

Shrek The Musical is open to the public and presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International. Tickets are $6 for students and $12 to the general public and available at www.seatyourself.biz/rosarian.
