Role in the musical[]
The Shoemaker's Elf is among the various fairytale creatures banished to Shrek's Swamp. She mostly appears as a gag character, meant to be played for laughs. Primarily her voice helps define her only trait being mildly irritating. However she later sings "Freak Flag" as part of the ensemble. The elf reveals that she practices scientology.
Trivia[]
- In the 2023-2024 UK & Ireland tour, she was replaced by the Christmas Elf, who also serves as Gingy's puppeteer instead of the Sugar Plum Fairy (who was still present).
