Welcome to the Education page for SHREK THE MUSICAL! Increasingly, movies are inspiring West End and Broadway shows, and the Shrek series, based on the William Steig book, already includes four feature films, a Halloween and two Christmas specials, and a 4D experience in theme parks around the world. It was the celebrated English stage and film director Sam Mendes who had the idea to take the book and the first movie and create a new musical version for the stage.
