Shrek Review is in…

Opening night was Wednesday 30th July 2025, we were pleased to invite Camille Berriman from the local press (Bury Free Press/Suffolk News) to come and review the first performance of our amazing 2025 show Shrek the Musical at the Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds.

Review: Suffolk Young People’s Theatre production of Shrek The Musical at Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds

Some of the highlights:

From the tip of Shrek’s green ears to the nose of the smallest tap dancing rat, talent was in abundance as the well-rehearsed youngsters performed with no hint of first night nerves.

“Director Erica Dupuy has coaxed some fantastic character performances out of her cast”

“Mention must go to the outstanding costumes, providing an explosion of colour and detail in almost every scene”

“Stunning vocals were displayed throughout, while the delightful choreography was beautifully performed.”

“Shrek the Musical is energetic, effervescent, enthusiastic, exuberant and hugely enjoyable – what talented young people we have here in Suffolk.”

Shrek is on stage tonight and tomorrow, with a matinée and evening performance on Saturday. Snap up one of the remaining tickets by calling the box office on 01284 769505 or go to http://www.theatreroyal.org
