Based on the 2001 blockbuster about an outcast ogre who is forced on a quest to regain ownership of his swamp, Shrek the Musical teaches all of us the power of accepting what makes us different. Join all the characters you know and love on a journey you will never forget. In this hilarious ballad, “I Know It’s Today”, we see three different generations of Princess Fiona, waiting in her dragon guarded castle for her true love to come rescue her. And her patience is wearing thinner and thinner by the day. Years begin to go by and while Princess Fiona becomes more impatient and a little more unhinged, she still reminds herself to remain hopeful, as she knows someday her prince will come to her rescue.
