Shrek live!

Already cult animated film by DreamWorks company and, in my opinion, one of the best cartoons of all time, "Shrek", has been adapted into a Broadway musical. I do not need to comment on the story itself, because it is almost the same as in the original, with the addition of pretty good music and dance numbers. While the cartoon from 2001 was designed as a witty and amusing parody of the Disney Princesses, the musical version also parodies some famous musicals. The acting is good, some of the performers really have great voices, and the atmosphere of the entire show is casual and cheerful. Even if you are not a fan of musicals, if you liked the cartoon you'll probably enjoy this adaptation too. It made my day.8/10

A Fantastic Show with Tons of Talent.

Before I begin my review of "Shrek: The Musical", I have a confession to make: I've never seen a "Shrek" movie from start to finish. Just not my type of movie.I went to see the show, almost begrudgingly, with a much younger relative & his parents. My only interest in this show was that Sutton Foster was playing "Fiona". I love Sutton Foster, and I've seen her in many things. Obviously, she was brilliant. Brian D'Arcy James, as "Shrek" was also fantastic. Their scenes together were excellent.What I really wanted to talk about was the characters of "Donkey" & "Lord Farquad". Daniel Breaker, as "Donkey", was a joy to watch. He was hysterical & has a great singing voice. I think I saw him in one other thing, years ago, where he wasn't a main character, and he was great! I enjoyed watching him "ham it up".Christopher Sieber plays "Lord Farquad", and he is such a comedic genius. The way this show creates "Lord Farquad", is so unique & brilliant, and Mr. Sieber handles the extremely challenging choreography with ease. I don't know how he sustained that while doing the show eight times a week.I liked this show very much. Sure, there are parts that aren't as good or interesting as other parts, but overall it's such a good, fun, entertaining show. It's highly recommended.
