Get ready to journey back to the swamp—this time, on stage! DreamWorks’ Shrek the Musical is coming to Manila, and the latest cast announcement has us shouting “Somebody once told me...” with pure excitement. Presented by Full House Theater Company in partnership with Newport World Resorts, this larger-than-life production will showcase beloved fairy-tale misfits through a spectacular mix of music, comedy, and theatrical flair.
Jamie Wilson steps into the oversized boots of Shrek, bringing his signature blend of humor and depth honed through standout performances. He recently dazzled audiences in the role of Pumbaa in The Lion King Jr. at Resorts World and brought heartfelt presence to Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol at Meralco Theater. Jamie’s resonant baritone and comic timing make him the perfect ogre.
Opposite him, Krystal Kane takes on Princess Fiona with grace and power. Her commanding soprano secured her the role of Maria in Stage Right's production of The Sound of Music, and she moved audiences as Éponine in Les Misérables at The Theatre at Solaire, earning praise for her stirring rendition of “On My Own.” Expect Krystal to bring Fiona’s fierce spirit and heartfelt emotion to vibrant life.
Adding endless charm and laughter is Topper Fabregas as Donkey. A favorite among theatergoers, he’s known for his vivacious energy, demonstrated as Enjolras in a concert staging of Les Misérables and alongside his ensemble roles in Crazy Talents 2024 at Newport Performing Arts. His comedic instincts and warm stage presence will ensure Donkey steals every scene.
Completing this dynamic quartet is Alfredo Reyes, portraying the pint-sized villain Lord Farquaad with big personality. Alfredo recently impressed audiences as The Rat King in The Nutcracker at CCP and shimmered in Alice in Wonderland with KidsActs PH, showcasing his flair for playful villainy. His turn as Farquaad promises to be both wickedly funny and delightfully over-the-top.
With a cast this formidable—seasoned vocalists, natural comedians, and rising theater stars—Shrek the Musical is poised to deliver heart, humor, and wonder for audiences of all ages.
