Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in “Shrek The Musical JR,” based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and Broadway musical.

It’s a “big bright beautiful world” as everyone’s favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance.

Part romance and part twisted fairytale, Shrek JR. is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.&nbsp;

Once upon a time in a far-away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek. One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions.

When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he’s handed a task: If he rescues feisty Princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted.&nbsp;

Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn’t be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.

Tickets are $20 for adults;; $18 for seniors and military; and $14 for students and children.
