Wonderful roles for performers with natural stage presence and big, clear voices. These characters are important for setting up the world and moving the story forward.
He may be a big, scary, green ogre to the rest of the world, but as the story reveals, he is really just a big fellow with a big heart. Shrek needs to be a solid singer and actor.
She may appear to be an ideal princess straight from a fairy tale, but there is more to her than that stereotypical image. She is an audacious young lady with a wonderful sense of humor and manners like that of a teenage boy. Fiona needs to be able to sing, act, and dance.
This is a younger version of grown-up Fiona and should have a solid singing voice.
A very short man with huge ambition! He is solely interested in gaining as much power as possible. This is a role for a good singer but most importantly, a comedian who isn’t afraid to make bold choices or look silly.
A brash, loud, fast-talking animal with no concept of “quiet time”. This role needs a performer who can sing and has a whole lot of presence and character. They should compliment Shrek as his loyal and ever-faithful sidekick.
A role that requires a lot of soul and spunk. She is a ferocious fire-breathing dragon but finds a surprising love in Donkey. This role is for a performer who has stage presence and a good pop singing voice.
Good roles for a dynamic duo that can kick off the show with a lot of energy and presence.

The wooden boy who cannot tell a lie without his nose growing. Pinocchio beings in a sour mood about his second-class status but ends the story as a natural leader among the Fairy Tale Creatures. This role is for a performer with a lot of personality and good singing voice.
The classic three little pigs with a German twist
He may be bitter about his unfortunate appearance but he does find camaraderie among his fellow fairy tale outcasts. This is a fun comedic role for a performer.
Mama, Papa, and Baby Bear. Great roles for new actors who have little stage experience!
A great role for a young performer! She has a BIG personality!
He doesn’t need to be scary or threatening. At this point, he’s a pretty tame wolf. This is a fun role for a newcomer to the stage.
Gingy is based on the Gingerbread Man who runs away like a fugitive from his baking captors. We need a performer with a lot of energy for this role!
The boy who never grew up.
This role is just right for an actor with some strength and authority. He or she doesn’t need to have a lot of stage experience. We just need someone with a big voice who isn’t scared to put all the Fairy Tale Creatures in their places.
The Dragon’s background singers who all tried at some point to save Fiona from the castle but were held hostage by the Dragon.
Farquaad’s comparably short and grumpy father. This is a perfect cameo role for a young performer.
