We just announced that SHREK THE MUSICAL is launching its national tour here June 2010. 2010 might sound far away but it will be here before you know it. We are announcing our next season next week, and this will be in the season after that one. Groups seem to love this show, and they are lucky because they get to book now (assuming you have 20 friends to go with).
Linda Flasch, Group Sales Manager, and I have been working with the Group Sales Staff about implementing the SHREK marketing plan. SHREK is a little bit different then some of the other musicals that we have sold. This is a show that is so clever that it appeals to young and old but best of all – boys love it too! We love “guy shows.” To name a few, THE PRODUCERS, SPAMALOT and JERSEY BOYS, but this one will attract not only the boys, but boys at heart. I am excited that I now have a guy show that a guy would want to take the whole family to see.
Maybe the Boy Scouts will book SHREK? I would love to see some boys with theatre patches on their uniforms! Wonder what Boy Scout Patch for SHREK would look like? Does anyone have a good idea? Let me know your ideas and I will pick a winner. Winner gets the SHREK cast recording and your very own pair of SHREK ears.
