Just in time for the holidays, Newport World Resorts' production outfit, Full House Theater Company, presents "Shrek The Musical" from October to December 2025 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater. They are currently seeking local talents to join the production.
The next Philippine production of Shrek The Musical is under the direction of Michael Williams, assistant direction by Cara Barredo, musical staging by Dexter Santos, choreography by Stephen Viñas, and music direction by Rony Fortich.
The musical is based on the story and characters from William Steig's book "Shrek!," as well as the DreamWorks Animation film of the same name.
Newport World Resorts is on the hunt for talented performers to bring these beloved fairytale characters to life. Open call auditions for all adult roles will be held on Saturday, March 29, at Meeting Room 1, 3F, Hilton Manila. Registration runs from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., with auditions from 1 to 5 p.m.
The production is casting for Shrek, the grumpy but lovable ogre; Princess Fiona, the beautiful Princess from Far Far Away who transforms into an ogre when the sun sets; Donkey, the fast-talking, ever-loyal sidekick; and Lord Farquaad, the comically short, ruthless ruler of Duloc.
Other roles include the fiery Dragon, the sassy Gingy, the animated puppet Pinocchio, and the fearsome Wolf. The ensemble will play various fairytale creatures, guards, knights, and more. Strong vocal ability is required for all roles, with select roles requiring dance skills.
Those interested should prepare 32 bars of a song from their favorite musical and bring a minus-one track for playback. Applicants must also submit their latest CV, a 3R-sized headshot and a full-body shot, and fill out a registration form.
Rehearsals for Shrek The Musical begin on August 18, from 2 to 9 p.m., extending to 11 p.m. during Tech Week, with performances scheduled from October to December 2025. For inquiries, send an email to [email protected].
