Shrek the Musical theatre review: A swamp-sational show based on the much-loved film.

Shrek the Musical theatre review by Katey Thompson.

Shrek the Musical is based on the well know film of Shrek, which was originally a book written by William Steig. The show brilliantly recreates many scenes from film as well as creating some new exuberant ones for this fabulous show. The humor throughout the production is laugh out-loud and at times I thought it might veer towards a pantomimesque  but it creates its own special fairy tale which was greatly enjoyed by my children and I.

The story is based on Shrek, played by Adam Baker, an excellent ogre with a terrifying roar. Shrek becomes upset when a rag tag band of fairy tale characters turn up at his swap. With the aid of his noble steed – Donkey, who was funny and brilliantly portrayed by Marcus Ayton, they go to meet with Lord Farquaad. The hilarity and skill that Will Hawksworth brings to this show as Lord Farquaad is fantastic. He is really enjoyable to watch as the facial expressions and deft leg work are amazing especially in the ‘Welcome to Duloc’.

Shrek agrees to go and rescue the lovely feisty Princess Fiona (Laura Main) for the return of his swamp.  En route Shrek and Donkey have to defeat the Dragon. This has to be the best dragon I have seen on stage. She was truly stunning  and the fluidity of the puppeteers movements made it seem as if the dragon was truly flying. My children were a little wary of the dragon scene in the film but found it really enjoyable and could not wait to see the dragon again on stage.

The humor was the good natured and the overarching theme was one about caring. The shows moral; that it doesn’t matter how you look, it’s whats inside you that is important, is still as relevant as ever.

The show was brilliantly funny creating lots of laugh out-loud moments throughout. It is a show suitable for anyone from 5 to 105 and ideal for the whole family to have a great evening’s entertainment, don’t miss it!

Shrek is running at the New Victoria Theatre in Woking until 10th June 2018.

Sister Bernadette actress Laura Main tells us about her usual weekend

She is currently touring the country in Shrek The Musical as Princess Fiona. The 37-year-old Scottish actress lives in London.

“If I’m not working, all I want to do on Friday night is return home and flop on the sofa with a glass of wine! I love chilling out in front of the telly and I will often put on Graham Norton’s show.

“I wish I was a good cook, but most of my weekend pleasures involve eating out or getting a takeaway! I’m vegetarian and my favourite thing to do on a Friday is to order an Indian takeaway.

“On Saturday morning, I rise for breakfast and I’ll either tuck into poached eggs with avocado on toast or a bowl of porridge. I’m a big coffee fiend, too, so there’s always a cafetière on the go. Then I’ll go to a yoga class.

“I ran the London Marathon last year and the training for it made me realise how beneficial it is to exercise regularly. I don’t miss the pounding of the streets and yoga is a great way for me to switch off from work.”

Laura is currently busy starring in Shrek The Musical as it tours the UK

I’m not a creature of habit and enjoy doing different things

“After my class, I do a few chores like shopping and often get something on the go to eat for lunch. Then it’s back for a shower and I normally spend the afternoon learning lines if I’m filming.

“More often than not, I’m out on a Saturday night for a friend’s birthday or get-together. If I’m not, I will go to the theatre. It’s not only great entertainment but it’s also inspiring.

“Sunday is a good day to catch up on sleep after a busy week. I love having a lie-in and I will go for a lovely walk or go out on my bike once I’m up. There are so many different areas in London and I love finding new places to visit. I’m not a creature of habit and enjoy doing different things.

“I love a vegetarian roast for dinner and, as I’m up early on Monday for work, I won’t have any wine. I’m a bit of a faffer so it takes me a while to wind down and get ready for bed! I’ll have a relaxing bath then eventually, when I’m ready, it’s time for a good night’s sleep before another busy week filming.”
