Sebastian Fabal brings a fresh, heartfelt energy to Deerfield Theater’s Shrek The Musical as Lord Farquaad, embracing the role as both a comedic challenge and a personal “palate cleanser” after more serious parts. A seasoned performer and musical theater writer, Sebastian shares how the show’s message of celebrating differences resonates deeply today, and how he’s excited for his young daughters to finally see him on stage in a family-friendly production. With a background spanning Miami, New York, and now Chicago, Sebastian’s passion for theater shines through his commitment to making Farquaad his own—eschewing imitation for genuine character work, even as he navigates the physical demands (and height jokes) of the role. His infectious enthusiasm, love for live performance, and belief in the magic of theater promise an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages.
