“Shrek: the Musical” is a singing and dancing retelling of the journey of title hero and his talking donkey best friend to save the beautiful Princess Fiona from the evil Lord Farquaad.

Now the Broadway hit comes to our own backyard when the City of Temecula Youth Musical Theater brings “Shrek: the Musical” to the Temecula Valley High School Golden Bear’s Auditorium this week.

As part of the British musical invasion of the mid-sixties, legendary rockers the Moody Blues brought to the United States a uniquely layered, sometimes complicated, but always rich and defining sound that set them apart from the rest of their musical colleagues from across the pond.
