If you have Broadway aspirations and think you’d look awesome in green fat suits or covered in fur, here’s your big chance - Shrek: The Musical has announced open casting for the two leads. Ten years ago, this would have seemed like the most idiotic idea in the world, but with Disney’s multiple successful Broadway adaptations, the only thing that seems out of place about S:TM is that they aren’t building a reality TV show around it.

The creative team is seeking male performers of all cultural backgrounds for these roles.

SHREK: 20s – 30s. An ogre. His imposing physical appearance disguises a warm heart. A lonely outsider with soul, strength, and wit. Values his peaceful solitary life in the swamp. Seeking actors with a powerful presence and strength with true Rock or R&B voices. Preferably a baritone.

DONKEY: 20s – 30s. A performer with a contemporary, urban edge and great humor. Joins Shrek on his journey to capture Princess Fiona. Seeking unique performers especially from slam poetry, comedy, Hip Hop worlds or clever actors with great comic skill.

Anyone, no matter how Far Far Away, can try and audition for these roles! If you or a friend think you have what it takes to play Shrek or Donkey, follow the directions below:
