Shrek
Our 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.
Vocal range top: G#4
Vocal range bottom: A2

Fiona
The beautiful princess of Far Far Away, she transforms into an ogre every
night when the sun sets. Rescued by Shrek and eventually falls in love with
him. Quirky, blunt, and multitalented, she is not an ordinary princess. TAP
DANCE EXPERIENCE PREFERRED
Vocal range top: G5
Vocal range bottom: F3

Donkey
A talking donkey who joins Shrek on the run from Farquaad's guards. Quite
the chatterbox, he is not deterred by Shrek's looks and practically forces
himself into his good graces. Easily frightened and pushy, but also an
optimistic with heart.
Vocal range top: B4
Vocal range bottom: C3

Lord Farquaad
The comically short, ruthless ruler of Duloc. He is in search of a princes
to marry so that he can become king. Has an intensely unfair bias against
fairytale creatures that stems from a resentment of his father.
Self-absorbed, lonely, and cruel.
Vocal range top: D5
Vocal range bottom: B2

Dragon
A 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. Imposing and flirtatious, but tired of her job as the
glorified baby-sitter.
Vocal range top: Eb5
Vocal range bottom: F3

Gingy
A gingerbread man initially kidnapped by Lord Farquaad. His wit and
resolution help him both avoid trouble and inspire the rest of the
fairytale creatures. Puppet. Can be operated by actress appearing as Sugar
Plum Fairy.
Vocal range top: C#5
Vocal range bottom: B3

Pinocchio
The leader of the fairytale creatures. He is an animated puppet whose nose
grows every time he lies. Plenty of sass with a penchant for lying.
Vocal range top: F#4
Vocal range bottom: E3
