Three Burnaby students are starring in a new production of Shrek the Musical.
Notre Dame Regional Secondary School is presenting the show May 4 to 7.
The cast includes Burnaby’s Jarod MacDonald as the title ogre, with fellow Burnaby residents Ernesto Marrocco as Donkey and Anthony Bitonti as Lord Farquaad. Also starring is Cassandra Bortignon as Fiona.
The musical’s story will be familiar to anyone who has seen the popular DreamWorks movie, with the tale of the hulking green ogre just trying to live a quiet life in his ugly swamp. When a gang of homeless fairy-tale characters appears and says they’ve been evicted by Lord Farquaad, Shrek agrees to help them get their homes back – and finds himself caught up in a quest for one very unusual princess.
It’s onstage at the school’s Father Joe Cuddy Theatre, 2880 Venables St. in Vancouver. It runs Wednesday, May 4 to Saturday, May 7, with evening shows at 7:30 p.m. nightly at matinees at noon May 4 and 5.
Tickets are $15. For tickets, email [email protected].
