We were lucky enough to see SHREK THE MUSICAL®  at The Wales Millennium Centre two years ago on its very first UK & Ireland Tour, and this week returned to the Centre to see it again on its latest tour.  It was brilliant back then and the whole family loved the show, so our expectations were high beforehand that this show would be at least equal to it. SHREK THE MUSICAL is based on the story and characters from William…
