Presented by the company’s talented adult musical theatre performers, the show will take centre stage at Theatre Severn this March, promising a hilarious, heartwarming journey to the land of “far, far away,” complete with stunning costumes, spectacular sets, and show-stopping performances.
Building on the overwhelming success of last year’s production of Elf the Musical, which received rave reviews and delighted sold-out audiences, the team at Get Your Wigle On is raising the bar even higher.

Based on the Oscar-winning animated film, the show follows the unlikely hero, Shrek, as he sets off on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona, accompanied by his ever-enthusiastic sidekick, Donkey. Packed with witty dialogue, catchy songs, and larger-than-life characters, the production promises to captivate audiences of all ages.
Audiences will be treated to show-stopping musical numbers such as “I’m a Believer,” “Who I’d Be,” “Freak Flag,”and “Morning Person,” performed with energy and heart by a talented local cast. Expect jaw-dropping sets that transport you into the fairy-tale world, alongside fabulous, costumes that bring beloved characters like Shrek, Fiona, and Lord Farquaad to life in vibrant detail. With Get Your Wigle On’s signature dedication to excellence, this production promises an unforgettable night of theatre magic.
