Shrek Brand Levitra started off as an Oscar-winning DreamWorks film that enchanted audiences around the world with its loveable cast of characters. The title character seemed an unlikely hero: a giant green ogre who resides in a swamp. Shrek loves his slimy, uncleanly surroundings, but all great heroes are eventually called away to battle demons or fire-breathing dragons, tasks that are not particularly appealing to our protagonist though he still gets roped into the adventure, albeit begrudgingly. The end result is of course what all fairytales are made of – a beautiful princess rescued from captivity in the tower of the evil dragon by a gallant, noble ogre and his trusty steed…a donkey. Okay…so things aren’t exactly following the Snow White pattern of events, but with Shrek not all things are as they seem.

Shrek the Musical began its run at the Broadway Theatre in November 2008 and was nominated for several Tony Awards, winning the accolade for Best Costume Design of a Musical. The musical ran for over year, finally closing in January 2010. The U.S. national tour, which is set to kick off in Chicago, will begin July 13 at the Cadillac Palace Theatre. The original Broadway cast included Brian d’Arcy James as Shrek, Sutton Foster as Princess Fiona and Daniel Breaker as Donkey. The cast members for the national tour have not yet been announced.

While many people may label Shrek as simply a children’s show, the movie and the musical are both designed for audience members of all ages. Laugh along as Donkey rambles endlessly to his traveling companions, or “boo” the evil Lord Farquaad as he plans his upcoming nuptials to an unwilling Fiona. The comedic tale is a heart-warming love story that continues to grow as Shrek and Fiona find out that they share quite a few things in common, most importantly the color green.
