Wheatland-Chili’s Upcoming Musical,  
Shrek the Musical 
Wheatland-Chili is putting on the musical, Shrek the Musical!  
Shrek the Musical is by Jeanine Tesori with books and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire. It’s based on Dreamworks Animation’s film, Shrek, produced in 2001 and William Steig’s book, Shrek, written in 1990. Our very own Mr. Ford will be directing the musical along with Mr. Roach. Mr. Zimmerman will lead the pit band. Mr. Ford has a history with Wheatland-Chili as the director of last year’s musical, In the Heights, by Lin-Manuel Miranda, which was a big hit. This year there are so many new roles to fill in this fun and exciting play, such as Donkey, Shrek, Fiona and many more! The first meeting to kick off the musical is November 6th after school in the chorus room. The purpose of this meeting is to provide general information.  
Looking forward, in thinking and speaking about the musical’s potential, Mr. Roach shares that he “is super excited about the play and the fresh new talented people.” He also says he is “excited to see what everyone is ready to do!”
