Shrek The Musical

Wimborne is about to get Shrektacular!

Join Shrek live on stage this June at the Tivoli Theatre, as Wimborne Musical Theatre Society (WMTS) get ready to stage their next major musical production!

‘Shrek the Musical’ tells the story of a grumpy but loveable ogre’s hilarious adventure to rescue the feisty Princess Fiona and reclaim his swamp! Along the way, he’s joined by the fast-talking Donkey, faces off with the villainous Lord Farquaad, and discovers that true love and friendship really does come in all shapes and sizes.

Filled with dazzling costumes, laugh-out-loud moments, and a whole host of quirky fairytale creatures, it’s the show that proves being different is truly what makes you special.

‘Shrek the Musical’ is adapted from the storyline of the DreamWorks Animation Motion Picture and features audience-favourite songs like ‘I’m a Believer,’ ‘Freak Flag,’ and ‘I Know it’s Today.’

Director, Duncan Trew, comments “we are delighted to be bringing this iconic and uplifting story to life in Wimborne and it’s fantastic to be working alongside such a gifted cast and crew. This extends to our two junior cast teams—local young performers who are truly shining in their roles and are sure to steal the spotlight! Rehearsals have been an absolute joy, and we cannot wait for audiences to share in the fun!”

Direction is assisted by Hilary Baker, with musical direction from Matt Timms and choreography from Suzi de Villiers and Kiera Rickford. The cast features over 40 talented children and adults, including Jack Hosking-Ellis, Selina Rumbold, David Swain, Alan Colclough, Lauren Ferger-Andrews, Jemma Cable and Charlotte Squibb.

The show will be performed by Wimborne Musical Theatre Society from 25^th – 27^th June 2026 at Wimborne’s Tivoli Theatre, with evening performances Thursday to Saturday, plus a matinee performance on the Saturday.
