Colchester Events and Stage Right Productions are thrilled to announce Rachel Jerram will star as Princess Fiona in this year’s festive production of Shrek the Musical at Charter Hall, Colchester.
Originally from St Helens, Rachel is an accomplished West End performer and vocalist. She’s long dreamed of playing Fiona since seeing the show on Broadway and is excited to bring the role to life – especially with her four-year-old daughter in the audience for the first time.
Rachel’s theatre credits include Lucy/Kate in Avenue Q (West End and UK tour), Polly Browne in The Boy Friend, and Shirley Vernon in Lady, Be Good!. She has performed internationally with Belinda King Productions and appeared on screen in Coronation Street and BBC Children in Need.
Rachel Jerram said: “Playing Fiona is a dream come true. To perform in such a joyful production – and in front of my daughter – makes it even more special. I can’t wait to share it with Colchester audiences.”
Rachel joins a stellar cast including Danny John-Jules (Red Dwarf, Death in Paradise) as Donkey and Chris Edgerley as Lord Farquaad.
The production’s choreography is led by internationally renowned creative Adam Scown, whose career highlights include the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony, international stage work across Europe and Asia, and collaborations with stars like Kelly Clarkson and Tina Arena.
Following the record-breaking success of Elf in 2024, which sold over 21,500 tickets, Shrek the Musical is set to be another magical highlight at Charter Hall this Christmas.
