Quirky, blunt, and multi-talented, she is not an ordinary princess.ĭragon: The Dragon has been charged with guarding Princess Fiona in her isolated castle. Rescued by Shrek from the tower where she is imprisoned, she eventually falls in love with him. Self-absorbed, self-deceiving, lonely, and cruel, he never changes.įiona: The beautiful princess of Far Far Away, she is under a curse that transforms her into an ogre every night when the sun sets. He has an intensely unfair bias against fairytale creatures that stems from resentment of his father. Lord Farquaad: The comically short, ruthless ruler of Duloc, he is in search of a princess to marry so that he can become king. Easily frightened and pushy, Donkey is also an optimistic fellow with a lot of heart. Quite the chatterbox, he is not deterred by Shrek’s looks or temper and practically forces himself into Shrek’s good graces. He begins as a seemingly grumpy, short-tempered hermit, but reveals his big heart, sheds his protective layers, and eventually shows himself as a real hero.ĭonkey: A sassy, smart-mouthed talking donkey joins Shrek on the run from Farquaad’s guards. While Shrek carries out Farquaad’s order for him to bring Farquaad Princess Fiona to marry, Shrek falls in love with Fiona. He embarks on a journey to help the fairytale creatures that Lord Farquaad has banished from Duloc and, at the same time, rid his home of other creatures who might fear and ridicule him. Shrek: Our story’s title character, Shrek is a big, green, terrifying ogre who lives alone on a swamp. But who can blame her? She’s been cooped up alone in a tall tower guarded by a dragon for years.Casting: Flexible-sized ensemble cast with standard dance requirements She’s also hesitant to truly let others in, keeping some powerful secrets that she has trouble sharing with others. She has been taught the niceties of being a princess, but she has a tomboyish side. Very odd things happen to her at night, but is that just another curse than can be lifted? Fiona must decide whether she is truly the beautiful princess she appears to be, or if she’s something altogether different, something a lot more like Shrek. Fiona seems to be warming up to Shrek, but in what fairy tale has a beautiful princess ever ended up with an ogre?Ĭhallenge… struggling with her identity. But now that she’s been rescued by an ogre who wants to marry her to Lord Farquaad-the height-challenged (and ethics-challenged) ruler who sent Shrek to retrieve her-Fiona is a cross roads. She’s been waiting for Prince Charming all her life, or at least a charming prince. She helps Shrek beat the wind out of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Interests… high-pitched singing, kung fu.

And with the constraints of captivity lifted at last, she finally has the chance to break free from it all. Perhaps more than anything, Fiona has actually been waiting to take her destiny into her own hands. Fiona is straight out of the fairy tales: the kind of princess whose job, like Rapunzel, is to wait in a high tower for a man to come to her rescue. Along with his trusty sidekick, the very chatty Donkey, Shrek is about the furthest thing from the dreamy “happily ever after” that Fiona spent her whole life expecting. Instead of a handsome young prince, Shrek the ogre ended up saving Fiona from the dragon’s keep. The spell kept her locked in a castle protected by a fire-breathing dragon, where “she waited in the dragon's keep, in the highest room of the tallest tower, for her true love, and true love's first kiss.” Like something out of a fairy tale, Fiona grew up waiting for her Prince Charming.
