the Musical is the story of a COLOR ADJECTIVE MYTHICAL CREATURE who, after being VERBed and VERBed his entire life by anything that crosses his path, retreats to an NEGATIVE ADJECTIVE COLOR GROSS PLACE to exist in happy isolation. Suddenly, a gang of homeless TYPE OF PEOPLE characters ( NAME 3 RANDOM CHARACTERS ) raid his TYPE OF PLACE , saying they’ve been evicted by the ADJECTIVE challenged Lord DUMB MAN’S NAME . So MCM strikes a deal: I’ll get your back, if you give me my home back! But when Shrek and Farquaad meet, the Lord strikes a deal of his own: He’ll give the fairy-tale characters their homes back, if Shrek rescues Princess Fiona. Shrek obliges, yet finds something appealing–something strange and different–about this pretty princess. He likes her. A lot. But why does she always run off when the sun sets?
