"Shrek the Musical" names 3 cast members

Seattle Times theater critic

The producers of the new show "Shrek the Musical" have announced the casting of three major roles in the production, which will have its world premiere at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre Aug. 14-Sept. 21, and move on to a Broadway run that opens in December.

All three actors are Broadway veterans: Brian d'Arcy James will play the role of Shrek, the benign ogre of three DreamWorks animated films; Chester Gregory II will portray Shrek's sidekick, Donkey; and John Tartaglia will play Pinocchio.

Previously announced cast members include Sutton Foster as Princess Fiona and Christopher Sieber as Lord Farquaad.

Tickets to the Seattle run are currently available only as part of a 5th Avenue Theatre subscription. They go on sale to the general public June 13. More details: www.5thavenue.org, 206-625-1900, 888-584-4849.
