Lovers of Shrek the animation will have the chance to see the award-winning Broadway adaption when it arrives at the Grimaldi Forum next December.

The musical, based on the hit animation, brings what producers call “the greatest fairy tale never told” to the stage with its cast of beloved characters, from the grumpy green ogre himself to his wisecracking donkey sidekick and a princess with a few surprises up her sleeve.

Running from 11th to 13th December 2026, the production will take over the Salle des Princes for five performances across the weekend.

The stage version stays true to the film’s unique humour that has left its audience crying of laughter when it first aired in 2001, all while adding theatrical spectacle through elaborate sets and costumes. At approximately two hours plus interval, it provides entertainment for the whole family.

Audiences should note the production will be performed in English, though French subtitles will be provided throughout.

Tickets are priced from €47 and can be booked through the Grimaldi Forum box office on +377 99 99 30 00, which operates Tuesday to Saturday between noon and 7pm. Bookings are also available online at montecarloticket.com
