On their first international tour, the cast of Shrek The Musical have come to our shores to delight audiences with their colourful story of friendship, love and self-acceptance. Hear the backstage stories and the tales of making cartoon-characters into living breathing ones on stage who sing, dance and act. Joining us were Shrek and Princess Fiona, or rather the actors who bring them to life and stage: Kyle Timson and Lindsay Dunn, and also tour director Justin Scholl.
