Shrek 2 in Concert with Seattle Symphony
With perfect family fun for kids of all ages, Shrek 2 in Concert will make all your musical fairytales come true! See Shrek 2 projected on the big screen, accompanied by the Seattle Symphony live in the concert hall performing the enchanting orchestral score by acclaimed composer Harry Gregson-Williams.
In the hit sequel in this beloved franchise, Shrek and Princess Fiona return from their honeymoon to find an invitation to visit Fiona’s parents, the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Far, Far Away. This catapults Shrek into facing his greatest challenge: the in-laws.
Little do Shrek and Fiona know that their marriage foiled the King’s plans for his daughter’s future … and his own. Now he must enlist the help of a powerful Fairy Godmother, the handsome Prince Charming and the famed ogre killer Puss In Boots to put right his own version of ‘happily ever after.’
