i haven’t seen anybody talk about the fact that one of the dwarfs is his dad, and one of the princesses he could have chosen was snow white. that would be an insanely akward family reunion.
Grumpy only moves in with the dwarves after he kicks out Farquaad, Snow White only coming after that. His mom is the princess from "the Princess and the Pea"
Society is far too narrow minded to realize that Shrek the Musical is actually good. And not its not because I'm biased from playing donkey in highschool
It's a really good musical. After the changes made for the National Tour the musical was a success in London. I'm from Argentina and in Buenos Aires was a success too.
It's awful, and the reason why is that it tries to bend what Shrek is into some philosophical thing. Shrek is a mainstay because it's just fun. We don't need all this stuff that makes it something it is not, if the original film was... it would not be successful, and not made into another bastardization play... Right off the bat two minutes in Shrek's parents are acting like they care and setting up this awful and cheesy dramatization... when in actually Shrek states that his parents tried to eat him, and that was funny, it was on brand for ogres... this is not...
@@jumpkicking It knows its not the movie. Nothing can beat the original, it does what any adaptation should do, and builds on it. I love the musical and the movie for different reasons. I would say the Legally Blonde musical does it much better.
When i was little i actually saw this live and my mum had connections to the stage director, so before the show i got to meet shrek - it was super cool
The broadway rendition of "Who I'd Be" kicks the shit out of the studio recording. There's something in the live performance that carries far emotion and power. I come back to this just to listen to it. It's by far the definitive version for this hero's anthem.
I was skeptical at first... I watched a minute, just to see how silly it was... but then I got hooked and watched the whole thing, lol. Its actually pretty good! Surprisingly addicting.
Most excellent! Just marveled at the innovative choreography (the dancing rat shoes), sets, and how these actors can essentially run a 5K while singing and are never out of breath. Sutton Foster, holy cow!. Amazing talent.
Me too. I always cried at the thought of being so alone and the only hope are in story books. She tells herself everyday it will be THAT day. Its heart braking.

My elementary school actually brought us to see it live on Broadway when it was first came out, we even got to learn to dance with some of the actual original cast and performers in the studio. I don't care if there were any other AP willits students in this comments. None of you were my friends. I had a very terrible time developing social skills. But that's mostly because of how fucked up my home life was. And I don't really hold anybody from those days accountable. It was justified out casting. But those teachers, Ms. Morgan, Miss Kelly, the speech teacher Mrs. Brown, if you're out there on internet land, You were all right to call social services, I wish they actually did something. Thank you for being a safe space I had growing up. Miss Shebina, you were basically my only real mother figure, i remember wishing you would adopt me.
I forget how impactful the story is, bc there is so many jokes. Shrek learns to let ppl in and love. Himself and others. And Fiona learns to love herself and realizes prince charming doesn't exist like the tales, but they do exist outside your fantasy.
yk, there's this running gag about how untalented actors get the worst/nonspeaking roles like a tree. But honestly, those small parts are what take the show to the next level. for example, the people who played the mice following Fiona through the woods. we saw nothing but their tapdancing feet and yet it created an experience and even added to the song.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MUSICAL! Everything about it was wonderful! The music, the costumes, the actors! It was brilliant! I first saw this on Netflix and was so sad when they took it off. I am going to be watching this musical every chance I get!🤩

How on EARTH did the Actor for Farquad do all that on his KNEES!? that must have absolutely KILLED his knees!
And don’t forget he did multipul shows like every day and many rehursels
They designed special padding. There was a video on UA-cam about it at one time.
How can he dance on his knees I was so suprised
Knee pads
He had knee pads
The transition from Farquad to Fiona's backstory is so good.
