Brian D'arcy James is my favorite Broadway star. I had the pleasure of meeting him and he showed me the backstage of the show he was starring in, Something Rotten
+Amanda Seymour That's amazing :) He has inspired me to continue acting. I've done a production of Shrek the Musical and got the role of Shrek. I hope to see him again someday.
TRUE in my school the school performance I was papa ogre and the mama ogre was super nervous so she barely sang and the audience only ever heard me it was sad
Clay Miller in my performance at a tiny theatre mama and papa ogre don’t have great voices, don’t know the words or the tune, and sing quietly. Opening night is next week tho
they should have used most of what was in the out of town tryout, and not changed so much, it would have won more tonys and would have run longer. this just needed some edits not drastic redoing in my opinion. i loved this song, and the way they did the dragons keep song and scene.
Man, so many memories. This was the first ever show I saw on Broadway, and I saw the OBC. It was so much fun, I saw it one more time on Bway and then the original tour!! Great show. Deserved so much more respect and longevity than it got. So glad it has a great following.
noyone in universe made him scottish.mike myers made shrek scottish because he told the filmmakers he wanted to do the accent as a homage to his mom who used to read him the william steig book to him allot
right? I was just looking for the song I was used to hearing from the taping but was so pleasantly surprised by that, I think it's the best part of the song and I can't imagine why they cut it, it's so much better than the more "comedic" route of just having someone scream and run away which they do another 3-4 times through the show, would have really benefited from harping on the more emotional side the same way they did with fionas song to better match "I think I got you beat"
Keep going: Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek, who lived with his parents in a bog by a tree. It was a pretty nasty place, but he was happy because ogres like nasty.
Jaylan Glover You know what ELSE everybody likes? Parfaits! Have you ever met a person, you say, "Let's get some parfait," they say, "Hell no, I don't like no parfait."? Parfaits are delicious!
While your camera skill is like trying to watch a TV program while riding a roller coaster and wearing a ski mask, I applaud what you managed to record. I like how in this video I can see the multiple turntables used on stage. In the DVD version -- the entirety of which was uploaded and recently pulled by Dreamworks screaming "Copyright!!!" -- in the DVD version filmed on Broadway in New York City, they are less evident due to the stage being slightly larger and the lighting darker throughout the production. I like how I can see them here, which gives me a better idea on how the technical side of things was done.
Ingrid Ericson trying to get my director to do it for next year's musical, it's a little expensive tho. doing annie right now, i'm Warbucks, which i completely suck at lol i cannot act like him, they casted me because of my voice.
We were ROBBED, of that actually not rushed version of the musical! Ironically, elements could have been used, but still, make it the COMPLETE version! It certainly is intriguing, I will say…
I JUST FINISHED MY SCHOOL PREFORMANCE I LOVED IT I WAS THE CAPTAIN OF THE GAURDS I CANT STOP LISTWNING TI THESE SONFS, I LOVE THEM SO MUCHHHHHHHH😭😭❤❤❤💕❤😭💕😭❤😭💕❤❤💕💕
I am a director at the middle school level and I want to tell you that the world does not work that way. Especially the theatre. We audition for parts and we are given the parts that we qualify for, and if someone else is better than you, you do not get the part. Young people really do need to learn that lesson. Things are not handed to us in this life. We earn them and the theatre is a great place to learn that lesson. I'm very sure that your director work his/her tail off on those productions and you need to be respectful of that.
I get chills every time he sings "Cause being likes is grossly overrated" its so lit im crying
Lightforyourfaces I THOUGHT THAT WAS ONLY ME
Marley Gabrielle same!!
i do with every stand out from the crowd message in this show
I'm absolutely using "it's so lit I'm crying" in the future
ACCORDING TO THE BOOK, Shrek's parents kicked him the hell out.
Wh--YES there's a BOOK!! How does anyone not know that? It's by William Steig!
Haven its a good book
That was a goood book
True because I have seen it
1234567890❤🖤💜💚💙👯♀️🧚♀️🧜♀️
Even though we're a professional theatre company doing this production, mama and papa ogre are literally puppets because our director loves avenue q😂
Wait what?!
SPILL THE TEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Brian D'arcy James is my favorite Broadway star. I had the pleasure of meeting him and he showed me the backstage of the show he was starring in, Something Rotten
Lucky! My voice and acting teachers are friends with him.
+Amanda Seymour That's amazing :) He has inspired me to continue acting. I've done a production of Shrek the Musical and got the role of Shrek. I hope to see him again someday.
Amanda Seymour TG hello
The mom's voice is incredible.
Still the best performance of this scene. The accent is superb, and the singing is phenomenal.
This is one of the Broadway shows
Sadar Hond no it’s not it’s pre Broadway
I'm so upset that they didn't play Smashmouth,I know it's trademarked or whatever but ;-;
Uhm they sang I'm a Believer in the end duh?
It wouldn’t be appropriate to sing because this is the opening of a Broadway show and it’s not best to sing another person’s song in this setting.
thottie w/ a body ya when he popped out I was really expecting that and don’t tell me they can get believer a monkeys song but can’t get smash mouth
They sing it at the end
@@chickennugget9254 I think he was talking about All Star.
I just love how they sing out... Unlike my school performance xD
TRUE in my school the school performance I was papa ogre and the mama ogre was super nervous so she barely sang and the audience only ever heard me it was sad
Clay Miller in my performance at a tiny theatre mama and papa ogre don’t have great voices, don’t know the words or the tune, and sing quietly. Opening night is next week tho
I'm Mama ogre... It's going to be a disaster
My school has this song for our performance, guess what? Voices on microphone are beautiful, just fire.
Fun Fact: Brian d'Arcy James turned down playing Dan in Next to Normal to play Shrek.
I think the makeup job they did on Brian was incredible. I had the honor of meeting him in his run in Something Rotten.
Well any normal human being would pick Shrek over anything
He made the right choice. No choice is better than Shrek
@@ChurchoftheLatterDayShrek of course! Shrek is love. Shrek is life.
You’re absolutely right. He was an amazing Dan when he did play him though. ☺️
God bless Bryan for going through two hours of makeup for this show. It looks amazing.
3:25 THEY SHOULD'VE KEPT THAT PART
they should have used most of what was in the out of town tryout, and not changed so much, it would have won more tonys and would have run longer. this just needed some edits not drastic redoing in my opinion. i loved this song, and the way they did the dragons keep song and scene.
3:18-4:57 WHY DIDN'T THIS MAKE IT TO THE TOUR VERSION OMG
Joe Grisanzio I know right, but what is the song.
Joe Grisanzio Ikr, pretty upset when I saw it in my country... Though it was still really good
this was probably based on the 2008 demo of the song
My heart broke when he popped the balloon in front of shrek
is this a call to wicked in the opening?
5:33
[Shrek Whistling]
[Doorknob Rattling]
[Shrek Whistling, Stops]
[Doorknob Rattling]
Shrek: Oh, come on! Not again!
I love this opening so much more than the final version
What's the final opening?
they cut the entire scenes with the townspeople singing and cut straight to shrek singing :/
6:52
4:42 chills
Man, so many memories. This was the first ever show I saw on Broadway, and I saw the OBC. It was so much fun, I saw it one more time on Bway and then the original tour!! Great show. Deserved so much more respect and longevity than it got. So glad it has a great following.
Am I the only one questioning where the hell shrek got his accent from? From what we see, he doesn't even meet anyone scottish?
noyone in universe made him scottish.mike myers made shrek scottish because he told the filmmakers he wanted to do the accent as a homage to his mom who used to read him the william steig book to him allot
I wish they kept 3:25 it sounds so amazing!!
right? I was just looking for the song I was used to hearing from the taping but was so pleasantly surprised by that, I think it's the best part of the song and I can't imagine why they cut it, it's so much better than the more "comedic" route of just having someone scream and run away which they do another 3-4 times through the show, would have really benefited from harping on the more emotional side the same way they did with fionas song to better match "I think I got you beat"
4:27 is it just me or does this part sound SO GOOD!!!!
Shrek is love, Shrek is life
Shrek is coming for you to cam on
Big bright beatiful world, its all teddybears and unicorns, take ur fluffy fun, anf SHOVE IT WHERE THE SUN DONTBSHINE!!!!!,
its peaches and cream . . . BUT NOT FOR YOU
I love the vines they put on the pit! And the extras they added on to it! Truly great performance all around!!
The actor who plays Shrek in the musical is absolutely phenomenal.
Dude...i've been conditioned to instantly play "All Stars" in my head when i see the outhouse...wtf XD
Keep going: Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek, who lived with his parents in a bog by a tree. It was a pretty nasty
place, but he was happy because ogres like nasty.
On his birthday the little ogre's parents sat him down to talk just like all ogre parents had for hundreds of years before
Listen son you’re growing up so quickly
Growing up bigger by the day
Although we want you here
The rules are very clear
When he BELTS "All mine' in the end... CHILLS
I love the way he says world
I'm doing this show in October and was cast as Shrek. I am excited beyond belief. What a great show!
My friend and I are going to see this musical next month for the pure reason of having "Shrek is love" banter
Whenever I look it up I see other kinds of these videos and they never do as good as this one
But I saw the movie
This is from Broadway, so it's probably the best production out there
Does that mean Shrek has to throw his triplets out too when they turn 7?
I’m sure Fiona would stop that tradition
I love this. Shrek is love. Shrek is life.
I'm doing this play at my high school. I'm going to be Donkey.
Me too! But in my middle school
What you know 'bout waffles, Shrek?
Jaylan Glover You know what ELSE everybody likes? Parfaits! Have you ever met a person, you say, "Let's get some parfait," they say, "Hell no, I don't like no parfait."? Parfaits are delicious!
Yayyy I'm Fiona😊
Uncultured swine

Cityman has shrek is potentially the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen so ur opinion is irrelevant
Cityman wdym? Shrek is sexy as hell
Its all ogre now.
I’m trying out for shrek at my community theatre. Wish me luck!
Super late to say good luck but did you get a part?

2:12 *in little ogre's mind you guys are mean*runs off crying*
We were ROBBED, of that actually not rushed version of the musical!
Ironically, elements could have been used, but still, make it the COMPLETE version!
It certainly is intriguing, I will say…
His parents are such fabulous singers
I love how we’re the only ones who have done shreck in the over 60 yrs of our school -_-
Saw this last night it was amazing !!
the best musical i have ever seen :) have it seen in londen (a person from holland)
I'm actually having a shriek musical with all these songs cool
I’m actually shrek in my school play I’m just seeing how they do the opening scene.
His dad said and his mom said now it is time for you to go away I'm watching this tommorow
I go to school at $$$ king georg
Honestly the musical was a great origin story, it's like Shrek 1 directors cut with all this backstory that wasn't in the movie
How did I get here, it's really late at night...
Oh wait. The memes were calling me...
May the memes be ever in your favor.
Poor shrek , ppl always looks by him an ugly ogre but his attitude were so good :( poor shrek!
Toilet:clogs
Shrek:Aw, come on! Not again!
IDK why, but I really like 4:29-4:55.
Shrektastic!
Big braight beautiful world
My highschool is doing this as our winter production and this song is so far my favorite. Also I'm the bass player in the pit if anyone cares :P
I JUST FINISHED MY SCHOOL PREFORMANCE I LOVED IT I WAS THE CAPTAIN OF THE GAURDS I CANT STOP LISTWNING TI THESE SONFS, I LOVE THEM SO MUCHHHHHHHH😭😭❤❤❤💕❤😭💕😭❤😭💕❤❤💕💕

When you ask someone out for a parfait they don't say "heck no ! "
0:57
Just the start of ma audition music!
His voice is amazing
So these are Shrek's parents
I love this song they changed everytime the story but this song still awesome.
Auditioning for this in a month or so
Damn that's all have to say meaning it is amazing!!
This version of the song did kind of come back in the MTI licensing version of the show
