   Shrek The Musical
   Houston Premiere
   October 19-31, 2010
   Hobby Center for the Performing Arts
   SHREK THE MUSICAL, based on the Oscar®-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to dazzling new life on the stage.
   In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre — not a handsome prince — shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a villain with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand...and his name is Shrek.
   Full of all-new songs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, SHREK THE MUSICAL is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone!
   For tickets or more information visit broadwayacrossamerica.com or call 713-622-SHOW (7469).

   Arcanto String Quartet

   The Menil Collection
   The Arcanto Quartet’s first North American tour takes the ensemble to New York (Carnegie Hall), Houston and other major musical centers. The Times of London wrote, “Their precision is Godlike, while their full-blooded spirit allows a delicate response to tone and phrasing. They're equally impressive driving an argument at white heat.” And The London Daily Telegraph raved, “Freshness, close rapport, finesse and a blend of eloquence and vitality have been hallmarks of [the Arcanto Quartet’s] style ever since its debut.” The Arcanto performs works of Mozart, Mendelssohn and Alban Berg.
