Shrek: The Musical

Last year, as soon as the final curtain dropped on the magnificent Wizard of Oz, the gossip and guessing began: “What will Ms. Marquez’s next musical be? In a brilliant follow-up, Shrek: The Musical is this year’s Terrace View Spring Musical. Shrek is a beloved animated movie, and the stage musical is a hilarious retelling of the contemporary, yet classic, story of true love and inner beauty. With well-known songs from the movie, and new ones too, audience members young and old will delight in the love story of Shrek (played by veteran leading man and Terrace View teacher Tom Fletcher) and Princess Fiona (played, from a young girl to a tower-locked princess, by three actresses: Jacqueline Gamboa, Megan Ramirez, and Samantha Stephenson), aided by their overenthusiastic sidekick Donkey (Steven Spellacy). A comedic highlight of this show is the mixing and mingling of classic fairy tale creatures, such as the Big Bad Wolf, the Fairy Godmother, the Three Little Pigs, Pinocchio, and the Ginger Bread Man, as they solve the problem of being banished from Duloc and relocated to Shrek’s swamp. For the past seven years, our community has looked forward to Geri Marquez’s annual musical productions. With actors from Terrace View Elementary, the local community, and the Inland Empire, Marquez has brought to the stage such gems as Peter Pan, Beauty and the Beast, and Willy Wonka. As in Marquez’s musicals of years past, audience members will be astonished and wonderstruck by the magnitude of the production. Framing the talents of the actors, singers, and dancers, are the masterly designed sets, carefully hand-sewn costumes, and artfully painted backdrops. Parents, actors, and community volunteers have already put in countless hours toward the staging of Shrek. This year, there will be a sign-language interpreter at the Saturday matinee. Tickets are now on sale and are expected to sell out! Performances will held in the Colton High School auditorium on April 17th, 18th, and 19th at 7 p.m., with a matinee performance at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 18th. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased from any cast member or by calling the school at (909) 586-5792.
