Shrek the musical who is in it

As Shrek opens up to his new friend, Fiona, transformed into an ogress, stands apart and alone in the moonlight and listens " Who I'd Be ". The next day, Princess Fiona rises early and sings with a bluebird and dances with a deer before making the bird explode and throwing the deer off a cliff and assists a Pied Piper in his rat-charming duties " Morning Person ".

Shrek brings down her mood by attempting to give subtle hints about her groom-to-be, "Men of Farquaad's stature are in short supply", "He's very good at small talk", etc. The two begin a contest of "one-upmanship", each trying to outdo the other by revealing their respective pasts " I Think I Got You Beat ". Both admit to being thrown out by their parents; this connection, as well as bonding over a love of disgusting bodily noises, kindles friendship.

Meanwhile, back in Duloc, Lord Farquaad plans his wedding, and he reveals his own sordid heritage after Thelonius insists that Farquaad should invite his father "The Ballad of Farquaad". As Shrek and Fiona's newfound camaraderie grows into love "Air Guitar Crossover" , Donkey notices and insists, with the help of the three blind mice, that Shrek should gather his courage and romantically engage Fiona "Make a Move".

Shrek, finally beginning to come out of his caustic, protective shell, tries to find the words to explain his feelings to Fiona "When Words Fail". While Shrek is out finding a flower for Fiona, Donkey discovers that Fiona turns into an ogress at night, and she confesses that she was cursed as a child, which is why she was locked away in the tower. Only a kiss from her true love will return her to her proper form.

Shrek arrives near the end of the conversation and misunderstands Fiona's description of herself as an ugly beast to be referencing him. Hurt by her presumed opinion, Shrek storms off. The next day, transformed back to her human form, Fiona realizes she has fallen in love with Shrek and decides to tell Shrek about her curse "Morning Person Reprise ".

When Fiona tries to explain, Shrek rebuffs her. While not very impressed with Farquaad but hurt by Shrek, Fiona agrees to marry him and insists that they have the wedding before sunset.

As they ride back to Duloc, Donkey tries to explain the misunderstanding to Shrek who is too angry to listen , and Shrek rejects him as well, declaring that he will return to his swamp alone, deciding to give into the role expected of him "Build A Wall" , to be a vicious, reclusive monster and vowing to never allow himself to have friends or fall in love again. The fairy tale creatures, now headed for a landfill which is to be their new home, decide Farquaad's treatment of them is intolerable.

Just because they are freaks does not mean they deserve to be hated. Gingy, Papa Bear, and others encourage the creatures gather new confidence and strength in themselves as they declare they will raise their "Freak Flag" high against their tormentors " Freak Flag ". Shrek returns to his again-private swamp, but he misses Fiona.

Donkey follows him back, and convinces Shrek of his friendship by forgiving the ogre for his harsh words. Shrek apologizes, and Donkey convinces him that Fiona really cares for the ogre. Both of them hurry back to Duloc. Shrek finally finds the words to express his feelings for Fiona, and he declares his love for her "Big Bright Beautiful World Reprise ".

However, his declaration of love is mocked by Lord Farquaad. Caught between love and her desire to break the curse, Fiona tries to escape the event, but the exiled fairy tale beings storm the wedding and protest their banishment. Christopher Sieber.
