Director Jim Kliegl reports that “Shrek, the Musical” is one of the most expensive plays ever produced in the Lindsay Theater with a cost of nearly $10,000. Royalties for this popular show were high, but most of the show’s expense is due to renting over 100 costumes for the show. The set was also expensive to construct. With a cast of 37, this high-powered musical will delight the whole family as it tells the tale of Shrek, the lovable ogre.
