Content Warnings: SHREK THE MUSICAL contains mild crude jokes and a fair bit of toilet humour, with light, harmless innuendos aimed at adults, similar to the original animated film. There are also a few scary moments in the story. The production also contains some flashing lights, theatrical haze and smoke effects, and occasional loud pyrotechnics and sound pops.
