‘Shrek’ Tickets Still Available
Jadd Davis, artistic director of the Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre, tells Huckleberries that tickets are still available for each of this weekend's four performances of "Shrek" (7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 2 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday). Best seats are available for Saturday shows. Cost: Adult: $49, Senior (62+): $42, Child (12-): $27; Student rush $15 half-hour before curtain with valid student ID. Take it from one who enjoyed the play last week ... it's worth the cost of admission.
Shrek is an ogre. Then again, anyone who has paid attention for the past 25 years knows that. Based on a 1990 picture book by William Stieg, the animated version of “Shrek” was a box office smash in 2001, and won the first-ever Oscar for best animated feature. There have been three sequels, a spinoff and various holiday specials. And a Broadway musical. The 2008 “Shrek: The Musical” has an impressive pedigree, with music by Jeanine Tesori, who this year won a Tony for her “Fun Home” score, and a book by David Lindsay-Abaire, a Pulitzer Prize winner for “Rabbit Hole.” Now, the story of Shrek, Princess Fiona and the lovable talking Donkey are on stage at Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre/Caroline Lamberson, SR.
