THE Canberra Theatre’s just cancelled staging of “Shrek”, was to have been the first Canberra gambit by Australia’s top producer of musicals, John Frost, since 1991.
It was then that he brought “Jerry’s Girls”.
Frost is impressed with the Canberra Theatre‘s new director, Alex Budd, saying: “He’s got such an entrepreneurial flair,” and expects, despite the cancellation, to do more business with him.

âSHREK the Musicalâ is coming to the Canberra Theatre Centre from February 14, it has been announced today (December 11), by its newish director Alex Budd.
In a coup for Budd and the theatre, the Gordon Frost Organisationâs production of âShrekâ will come directly from its opening at Brisbaneâs Queensland Performing Arts Centre, and will play at 75 per cent capacity under the ACT governmentâs new covid-related regulations. The window is open for the season to run for up to a month.
Managing director of GFO, John Frost, was last in Canberra 30 years ago with âJerryâs Girlsâ, featuring Marcia Hines, who will also appear in the QPAC production, playing the lovesick dragon.
