The musical is based on the story and characters from William Steig's book "Shrek!," as well as the DreamWorks Animation film of the same name.
Newport World Resorts is on the hunt for talented performers to bring these beloved fairytale characters to life. Open call auditions for all adult roles will be held on Saturday, March 29, at Meeting Room 1, 3F, Hilton Manila. Registration runs from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., with auditions from 1 to 5 p.m.
The production is casting for Shrek, the grumpy but lovable ogre; Princess Fiona, the beautiful Princess from Far Far Away who transforms into an ogre when the sun sets; Donkey, the fast-talking, ever-loyal sidekick; and Lord Farquaad, the comically short, ruthless ruler of Duloc.
