Singing Audition for "Shrek Jr." Play

Bold, energetic actors with natural stage presence and big, clear voices. These characters are important for setting up the world and moving the story forward.

Story's title character. A big, green, terrifying ogre who lives alone on a swamp. He embarks on a journey to rid his land of fairytale creatures and, along the way, falls in love with Fiona. Begins as a grumpy hermit, but reveals his layers and eventually becomes the hero. Requires strong solo singing and advanced acting skills.

She may appear to be an ideal princess straight from the fairy tale books, but there is more to Fiona than that stereotypical image. She is an audacious young lady with a wonderful sense of humor and - surprisingly - manners akin to those of a teenage boy. This is a premiere role for an experienced performer with a lovable spirit.

Young Fiona and Teen Fiona are younger versions of Fiona and should have solid singing voices.

A very short man with gargantuan ambition! He is solely interested in gaining as much power as possible. Behind his princey charm, he is pompous, self-centered and cruel. This is a role for a good singer, but most importantly, your very best comedian who isn't afraid of making bold choices or looking silly.

A talking donkey who joins Shrek on the run from Farquaad's guards. Sassy and confident, he yearns to belong somewhere. is a brash, loud, fast-talking animal with no concept of "quiet time” and feels he can be the best companion EVER to anyone who might accept him. He is energetic and overenthusiastic.

A lonely and soulful dragon that has been charged with guarding Princess Fiona in her isolated castle. She eventually falls in love with Donkey and attempts to keep him there forever.

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 being belied by his growing nose. Pinocchio begins in a sour mood about his second-class status but ends the story as a natural leader among the Fairy Tale Creatures. Suited for a young performer with a lot of personality who can sing well.

Pig 1, Pig 2 And Pig 3. The classic three little pigs with a German twist. It isn't necessary that they look identical; focus on finding a fun and dynamic trio.

A great role for a young performer destined to be a character actress and has a big personality.

He doesn't need to be a scary, threatening big-bad-wolf type. At this point, he's a pretty tame wolf who is reduced to wearing Little Red Ridinghood's grandmother's dressing gown. This is a fun role for a newcomer to the stage.

A great cameo role for a young performer who is as earnest as can be. Gingy is based on the Gingerbread Man who runs away like a fugitive from his baking captors. Best suited for a performer with great energy.

Dragon's background singers who all tried at some point to save Fiona from her tower but were held hostage by the Dragon. Great for young performers who can sing well and have some soul just like Dragon.
