Shrek the Musical is a musical with music by Jeanine Tesori and a book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire. It is based on the 2001 DreamWorks film Shrek, which was based on the 1990 book Shrek! by William Steig.

After a tryout in Seattle, Washington, the musical opened on Broadway December 14, 2008. The show was nominated for eight Tony Awards and won Best Costume Design of a Musical for Tim Hatley. It was also nominated for twelve Drama Desk Awards, winning three. The show closed on January 3, 2010 after 441 performances and 37 previews.

Lindsay-Abaire and Jason Moore (director of the Tony-award winning Avenue Q) began working on Shrek by 2002, and Tesori joined the team in 2004. A reading of the musical took place on August 10, 2007 with Stephen Kramer Glickman in the title role, Robert L. Daye Jr. as Donkey, Celia Keenan-Bolger as Princess Fiona, and Christopher Sieber as Lord Farquaad.

The Broadway production closed on January 3, 2010 after 441 performances and 37 previews.

A U.S. national tour is scheduled to launch on July 13, 2010 at the Cadillac Palace Theatre, Chicago.

Dreamworks is planning on releasing a DVD of the Broadway production sometime in 2010.
