Grandview Prep’s Shrek the Musical Coming to West Boca High for 2 Nights Only

Spring musicals weren’t really “a thing” when I was in high school. Boca High didn’t have the auditorium facilities it does now, so it was pretty much cheerleading and football and basketball games for me! Now working with Grandview Preparatory School, it has given me a second chance to be a part of a springtime musical…as a parent spectator of course. 😉 I can’t believe that #dailybocaavery is finally old enough to take part!!!

This year, Grandview is putting on Shrek the Musical April 25-26, (2025)…and it’s a must-see!

Synopsis: Shrek the Musical is a hilarious and heartwarming stage adaptation of the beloved DreamWorks animated film, bringing the fairy tale world of Shrek to life with catchy songs, vibrant characters, and plenty of ogre-sized laughs.

Set in a land far, far away, the story follows Shrek, a grumpy yet lovable green ogre who enjoys his solitude in a swamp—until his peace is disrupted by a group of fairy tale misfits banished there by the tiny yet tyrannical Lord Farquaad. Determined to reclaim his home, Shrek embarks on a quest to strike a deal with Farquaad, who offers to clear out the swamp in exchange for Shrek rescuing the feisty Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded tower.

Along the way, Shrek reluctantly teams up with an overenthusiastic Donkey, who quickly becomes his loyal (and talkative) sidekick. When they find Fiona, Shrek discovers that she harbors a surprising secret—one that could change everything. As the unlikely trio journeys back to Duloc, Shrek and Fiona form an unexpected bond, revealing that beauty is about more than appearances.

With show-stopping numbers like “I’m a Believer,” “Who I’d Be,” and “Freak Flag,” Shrek the Musical is a fun-filled adventure that celebrates friendship, love, and embracing what makes you unique. It’s a tale that proves happily-ever-afters don’t always look the way we expect—but they can be even better!
