The Mile High City is getting Shreked this week, with both Shrek the Musical and a Shrek Drag Brunch.
Denver is Shrek's swamp now. This week, two different events pay homage to the ogre who has captured hearts worldwide:

The story began not in a movie studio, but on the pages of a. Little did anyone know that the grumpy ogre's journey from book to blockbuster would spawn a multimedia franchise beloved by millions., a film that not only won the first-ever Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, but also turned the fairy-tale genre on its head.
Even some of the more immature humor, they note, showcases that theme."There are several moments, including a fart sequence in Act Two, that are hilarious on the surface and are deeply rooted in characters making a choice to celebrate their authenticity," Jepson continues.
If the musical wasn't enough Shrek — and who could get enough? — the weekend will be capped off with DREAMLIGHT's Shrek Drag Brunch on Sunday, March 17. At at the Denver Improv, you can enjoy your brunch while watching talented drag performers embody iconic characters from theuniverse .
"I think this story resonates with so many people because everyone has felt like the underdog at least once in their life," Jepson says."The character and story may be made up, but the comedy of ups and downs that life brings is what makes the heart of Shrek beat. Yeah, Shrek is a nasty ogre with bad habits, but he is kind, he is deeply empathetic, and he has a funny accent.
