Roles in this project

ACTORS & PERFORMERS

Lead ($1700)

Shrek: Male. Age: 25 to 45. Bigger in stature and over 6’ tall. Our story's title character. A big, green, terrifying ogre who has spent most of his life as an outcast, living in a swamp far from civilization; crass and brutish exterior disguises a soulful, lonely heart. A reluctant hero, Shrek begins as a grumpy hermit but eventually reveals his layers and becomes the hero. Powerful presence with great wit. Must be able to do a Scottish accent. Baritone/Tenor. Vocal range A2 - G#4. LEAD ROLE. Pay rate: $1700 per show week and $2500 flat for ALL rehearsals.

Fiona: Female. Age: 20 to 30. Princess of Far Far Away, daughter of King Harold and Queen Lillian, Fiona has spent most of her life locked in a dragon-guarded castle reading romantic fairy tales and waiting to be saved. Underneath lurks a smart, outspoken girl who can't help burping or launching into hand to hand combat when needed. Fiona transforms into an ogre every night when the sun sets. Quirky, blunt and multitalented, she is not an ordinary princess. Great comedic timing. Must be able to tap. Mezzo Soprano with Belt. Vocal range F3 - G5. LEAD ROLE. Pay rate: $1700 per show week and $2500 flat for ALL rehearsals.

Donkey: Male. POC. Age: 20 to 35. Shrek's self appointed side-kick. A talking donkey who joins Shrek on his epic adventure. Quite the chatterbox, he is not deterred by Shrek's looks and practically forces himself into his good graces. While easily frightened and pushy, Donkey has optimism and heart, charm and wit. Donkey is a bright-eyed motormouth whose eagerness and quick wit barely disguise his desperate need for a friend and to be liked. Tenor. Vocal range C3 - B4. LEAD ROLE. Pay rate: $1700 per show week and $2500 flat for ALL rehearsals.

Supporting ($1200 - $1400)

Lord Farquaad: Male. Age: 30 to 45. The comically short, ruthless ruler of Duloc. A pompous, power-hungry little villain with a raging Napoleon complex and intense dislike of all fairytale creatures. Sets out to take a beautiful princess as his bride in order to claim himself a kingly throne. Self-absorbed, lonely and cruel. NOTE: The actor playing this role will execute all blocking and choreography on his knees. Tenor. Vocal range B2 - D5. SUPPORTING ROLE. Pay rate: $1400 per show week and $1800 flat for ALL rehearsals.

Dragon: Female. POC. Age: 25 to 45. A dragon that has been charged with guarding Princess Fiona in her isolated castle. She eventually falls in love with Donkey and attempts to keep him forever. Imposing and flirtatious, but tired of her job as a glorified baby-sitter. The actor will appear as Dragon ON STAGE. NOTE: This actor may control/interact with some puppeteer/moving costume elements. Mezzo Soprano. Vocal range F3 - Eb5. SUPPORTING ROLE. Pay rate: $1200 per show week and $1800 flat for ALL rehearsals.

Feature ($1100)

Gingy/ Sugar Plum Fairy: Female. Age: 20 to 40. The Sugar Plum Fairy is among the fairytale creatures who are sent to Shrek's swamp by Lord Farquaad. Based on the character of the same name from the ballet, The Nutcracker. This actor will also voice the Gingy puppet. Gingy is a gingerbread man initially kidnapped by Lord Farquaad. His wit and resolution help him both avoid trouble and inspire the rest of the fairy tale creatures. Character voice is necessary for acting and singing as this actor is essentially playing two Fairy Tale Creatures. Soprano w/ Soulful Belt. Vocal range B3 - C#5. FEATURE ROLE. Pay rate: $1000 per show week and $1800 flat for ALL rehearsals.

Pinocchio: Male. Age: 20 to 40. The leader of the Fairytale Creatures. He is banished to Shrek's swamp along with the other fairy tale creatures by Lord Farquaad. An animated puppet whose nose grows every time he lies. Plenty of sass with a penchant for lying. Comic role with character voice for acting and singing. Tenor. Vocal range top: E3 - F#4. FEATURE ROLE. Pay rate: $1000 per show week and $1800 flat for ALL rehearsals.

Ensemble ($900)

Teen Fiona: Female. 21+ (playing 13 to15). Now a teenager, Fiona has been trapped in the tower for a few years and has angst about not yet being rescued. This actor will double as a Fairytale Creature and/or other ensemble roles. Soprano w/ Belt. Vocal range B3 – C#5. ENSEMBLE ROLE. Pay rate: $900 per show week and $1800 flat for ALL rehearsals.

Fairytale Creatures: Male and female. All ethnicities. Excellent dancers with strong jazz and tap technique, and excellent singing voices to play various characters throughout the show.
