Characters:
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 cast some bold, energetic young 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.
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.
Young Fiona
Teen Fiona
Lord Farquaad- A very short man with gargantuan ambition! He is solely interested in gaining as much power as possible. This is a role for a good singer, but most importantly, your very best comedian who isn't afraid of making bold choices or looking silly.
Donkey- A brash, loud, fast-talking animal with no concept of "quiet time." Cast an experienced performer who can sing well and has a whole lot of presence and character. Be sure to choose a performer who complements Shrek well as his loyal and ever-faithful sidekick.
Dragon-A breakout role for a young girl with a lot of soul and spunk. She is a ferocious fire-breathing dragon but finds a surprising love in Donkey. Cast a performer who has tremendous presence and a good pop singing voice.
Mama Ogre: Shrek's Mother
Papa Ogre: Shrek's Father
Little Ogre- Young Shrek
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. Cast a young performer with a lot of personality who can sing well.
The Three Little Pigs - Pig 1, Pig 2 And Pig 3. The classic three little pigs with a German twist.
Ugly Duckling- He/She may be bitter about his unfortunate appearance, but does find camaraderie among his fellow fairy tale outcasts.
The Three Bears- Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and Baby Bear. Great cameo roles
Wicked Witch-A great role for a young performer destined to be a character actress. She has a big personality, so find a performer who is up to the task.
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.
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.
Peter Pan-The boy or girl who never grew up, and he continues to act the part in this story.
Captain Of The Guard- This role is just right for an actor with some inherent strength and authority.
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.
Dwarf (GRUMPY)
Farquaad's comparably short and grumpy father.
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. Be sure to cast a diverse group of kids with lots of personality and different strengths. Your performers should be proficient singers but most importantly, great actors. 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.
