Young Manahawkin Actor Performs in 'Shrek the Musical'

Alexa Hunt plays Teen Fiona in "Shrek the Musical" at the Walnut Street Theatre

Alexa Hunt performs on the Walnut mainstage as Teen Fiona in Shrek the Musical - playing now through January 5.

Based on the DreamWorks film, Shrek is the story of a reclusive ogre who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking donkey and a feisty princess. Complete with new songs and an outrageous cast of fairytale characters, this hilarious musical is entertainment for children and adults alike.

Shrek the Musical marks Alexa Hunt's Walnut Street Theatre debut. As Teen Fiona, Alexa shares the stage with the adult-version of the impatient princess, played by Broadway’s Julia Udine of Phantom of the Opera fame. Alexa has previously performed as Baby June in Arden Theatre Company’s production of Gypsy, as well as in the ensembles for Elf the Musical at Surflight and Ebenezer at Resorts Casino. Alexa is also involved with Applaud Our Kids, a performance troupe that raises money to provide children with scholarships to take lessons in the performing arts at local studios.
