Shrek Cast Descriptions

  • Storytellers
    Wonderful roles for performers with natural stage presence and big, clear voices. These characters are important for setting up the world and moving the story forward, so must be bold and energetic actors.
    Gender: Any
  • Shrek
    He may be a big, scary, green ogre to the rest of the world, but as the story reveals, he’s really just a big fellow with a big heart. Looking for an actor who is a solid singer and who is an excellent actor with comedic chops.
    Gender: Male
  • Fiona
    She may appear to be an ideal princess straight from the fairy tale books, but there is more to her than that stereotypical image. She is an audacious young lady with a wonderful sense of humor and – surprisingly – manners akin to those of a teenage boy. Must be an actress who can act, sing and dance. This is a premiere role for an experienced performer with a loveable spirit.
    Gender: Female
  • Young and Teen Fiona
    Young Fiona and Teen Fiona are younger versions of Fiona and must have solid singing voices.
    Gender: Female
  • Lord Farquaad
    A very short man with gargantuan ambition! He is solely interested in gaining as much power as possible. We are looking for a good singer, but more importantly, a comedian who isn’t afraid of making bold choices or looking silly.
    Gender: Male
  • Donkey
    A brash, loud, fast-talking animal with no concept of “quiet time.” Looking for an experienced performer who can sing well and has a whole lot of presence and character. Must be an actor that complements Shrek well as his loyal and ever-faithful sidekick.
    Gender: Male
  • Dragon
    Looking for an actress with a lot of soul and spunk. Dragon is a ferocious fire-breathing dragon but finds a surprising love in Donkey. Must be a performer who has tremendous presence and has a good pop singing voice.
    Gender: Female
  • Mama Ogre

    Must be a good singer. Kicks off the show. So, we are looking for a Mama and Papa that can work well together and sounds amazing together.

    Gender: Female
    Vocal range top: C5
    Vocal range bottom: A3
  • Papa Ogre

    Must be a good singer. Kicks off the show. So, we are looking for a Mama and Papa that can work well together and sounds amazing together.

    Gender: Male
    Vocal range top: E4
    Vocal range bottom: C3
  • Little Ogre
    A role just right for a smaller, younger performer. He may not have lines but he is very important to the storytelling. Must be a good actor.
    Gender: Any
  • Pinocchio
    The wooden boy who cannot tell a lie without being belied by his growing nose. Pinocchio begins in a sour mood about his second-class status but ends the story as a natural leader among the Fairy Tale Creatures. Looking for a performer with a lot of personality who can sing well.
    Gender: Male
  • The Three Little Pigs
    Pig 1, Pig 2 And Pig 3. The classic three little pigs with a German twist. Must work well together and be a fun and dynamic trio.
    Gender: Any
  • Ugly Duckling
    He may be bitter about his unfortunate appearance, but he does find camaraderie among his fellow fairy tale outcasts. This is a fun comedic role.
    Gender: Male
  • The Tree Bears
    Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and Baby Bear. Great cameo roles. Looking for complementary group of good singers.
    Gender: Any
    Vocal range top: C4
    Vocal range bottom: D3
  • Wicked Witch
    A great role for a young performer destined to be a character actress. She has a big personality, so we are looking for an actress who can play a big personality.
    Gender: Female
  • Big Bad Wolf
    He doesn’t need to be a scary, threatening big-bad-wolf type. At this point, he’s a pretty tame wolf who is reduced to wearing Little Red Ridinghood’s grandmother’s dressing gown. This is a fun role for a new actor!
    Gender: Any
  • Gingy
    A great cameo role for a young performer who is as earnest as can be. Gingy is based on the Gingerbread Man who runs away like a fugitive from his baking captors. Must be an actor with great energy.
    Gender: Any
  • Peter Pan
    The boy who never grew up, and he continues to act the part in this story. Looking for an actor who will have fun physicalizing the character.
    Gender: Any
  • Captain of the Guard
    This role is just right for an actor with some inherent strength and authority. Must be an actor/actress who has a big, booming voice and who isn’t scared to put all the Fairy Tale Creatures in their place.
    Gender: Any
  • Knights

    The Dragon’s background singers who all tried at some point to save Fiona from her tower but were held hostage by the Dragon. Must be able to sing well and have some soul just like the Dragon.

    Gender: Any
  • Dwarf
    Farquaad’s comparably short and grumpy father. This is a great cameo role.
    Gender: Male
  • Ensemble
    The Fairy Tale Creatures make up the heart of the show. These characters are taken from the story books but have a bit of a comedic twist. Other standout ensemble roles include : The Guards, Duloc Performers, Puss in Boots, Rooster, Pied Piper, Rats and the Bishop. Ensemble roles like Birds, Trees, Deer, Woodland Creatures and Fairy Tale Creatures help make up the backbone of the musical. The story demands everyone jump on board as we create the hilarious and lovely world of Shrek The Musical JR.
    Gender: Any
