Shrek UK Tour - Leeds TV Advert

I'm actually going away for a week tomorrow - nowhere as beautiful or idyllic as Venice where Faye & Gareth had a lovely romantic break recently - but before I depart I wanted to feature the official TV advert for Shrek The Muscial UK Tour at Leeds Grand Theatre.

The show will be thrilling audiences in Leeds from July 23rd to August 17th. Make sure you don't miss out and grab your ticket while you still can.



Hopefully they will eventually make a highlights video featuring Faye and the cast of the UK tour as they did with Legally Blonde.

Below is a lovely little artcile from the Manchester Evening News announcing Faye's exciting new role.

It also confirms that the locals are in for a Christmas treat as their very own Princess will be home for the festive season. Shrek's run at the Manchester Palace Theatre is Dec 2nd to Jan 11th.

Faye Brookes to star in Shrek the Musical 

The Urmston actress will play Princess Fiona in the musical this Christmas.

West End star Faye Brookes will return home to Manchester for Christmas as the star of Shrek the Musical which heads here for the first time this year.

Faye, from Urmston, has starred in Legally Blonde on the West End as well as the national tour, and was most recently seen in the Royal Exchange production of That Day We Sang.

She'll be going green to play Princess Fiona in the offbeat fairy tale musical based on the hit animated films.

Faye will be joined on the tour by Dean Chisnall, who has been delighting audiences in the West End as the swamp-dwelling Shrek.

The new touring production is being directed by ex-EastEnders star Nigel Harman, who played baddie Lord Farquaad in the West End show.

Nigel says: "This show is very special to me with it's dizzying blend of great characters, a hilarious script and sublime music."
