WOW Presents Shrek the Musical

WOW Youth Musical Theatre are bringing Shrek the Musical to the Weymouth Pavilion from Wednesday 31 March to Saturday 3 April 2027, with five performances in total. It's an amateur staging of the DreamWorks favourite, and it'll be playing in the Main Auditorium.

If you're not familiar with the story, it's based on the DreamWorks Animation film and William Steig's original book, with a book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire and music by Jeanine Tesori. It first made its way to Broadway through DreamWorks Theatricals and Neal Street Productions, directed by Jason Moore and Rob Ashford, and it still carries the anthem 'I'm a Believer'.

WOW Youth Musical Theatre are no strangers to the Pavilion. They've picked up ten regional awards over the last twelve years, and this follows their acclaimed runs of Legally Blonde and We Will Rock You. For this production, Martine Burt is directing and choreographing, with Jessamy Bowditch as musical director.

There are five shows to choose from: Wednesday 31 March, Thursday 1 April, and Friday 2 April all start at 7pm, and Saturday 3 April has a matinee at 2pm and an evening show at 7pm. Tickets are £25. If you're planning to make a proper evening of it, pre-show meals are served in the Piano Bar from 5pm.
