Directed by Timothy Murphy, the show stars Winston Sullivan as Shrek, Ali Edwards as Fiona, Ryan Mauro as Donkey and Mitchell Doherty as Lord Farquaad. Also deserving of top billing are the five talents whose combined efforts make the impressive dragon come to life – Lynne Vallee and puppeteers Isaac Withers, Aeva Goodship, Steve Veldt and Kyla Robinson.
