I played in the pit for a professional production of this musical, and this pit isn’t exactly great lol. During certain parts I was like “oh yep it’s not supposed to sound like that right now” but that being said they were still a lot better than what was going on the stage
binta coulibaly I played the trumpet part in the pit in high school and this pit even though it’s not the best it’s better than what ever is going on stage
can't believe this bootleg hasn't been taken down yet. you'd think the youtube algorithms would be able to identify broadway shows from their incredible performance quality.
Yo why is donkey the best? He sounds like the only person who knows his part enough to actually do this show... Edit: YO teen Fiona was better than adult soo like oof
this production exudes some very strong "the father of the girl who was cast as fiona is rich and donates a lot of money to the school so they really had no choice but to put this show on and cast his daughter as the female lead" energy
I, a Scottish person, living in Scotland, did not mind mike Myers attempt at the Scottish accent in the shrek movies, not realistic but hey it’s close enough. However this accent is worse and makes me wish for a slow painful death. Throw this accent into illegal heathers and I think we’ve found the chant that summoned the antichrist XD
I read that Mike Myers was doing a real Scottish accent for the movie but nobody could understand him so the director made him change it. I'm not sure where I read it, though so that may or may not be true.
I was in this show freshman year as Fiona and Jesus I forgot about how awful some of the lines are. Plus wtf is this Fiona doing with her voice is she ok????
@@franfrankie7 Depends on your school. Our director said no freshman get parts. But the next year, his favorite 3 freshman got leads. He do be a sketchy dude. So it's really a toss-up.
They did that at my school too! Except it was ‘Almost Maine’. They brought back a 23 year old that graduated from my school and it was super cringy because he was a full grown man around 15-18 year olds. He also played a big part where he made out with one of the 17/18(?) year old girls and I don’t understand how my school didn’t see that as...illegal
ehhh...i think my middle schools shrek the musical was arguably worse: -shreks actor had a latex allergy -nobody knew their lines -we had a 15yr old guy named kyle vaping behind the curtains, literally his name was kyle -i was the ✨ugly duckling✨
my two good friends were double cast as fiona in their production. half way through my first friend’s run, she cracked her head open during the show and couldn’t finish her shows. my other friend had to take over and no one told her what happen until the end of the run cause she would have freaked out.
This production had the budget but clearly not the talent yikesss Shrek the Musical, as laughable as it is, is actually pretty good if it's done right. I was in a production of it when I was 15 and everyone was super talented so it turned out great and was one of the best shows I've been in. I still laugh though bc I was cast as Young Fiona whos supposed to be like 7 and I was 15 whereas the boy playing young Shrek was an actual child. I was also Baby Bear in the same production so as you can tell I definitely have a typecast playing roles meant for small children lmao
I am dead serious. In my drama class for school our teacher let us pick whatever broad way show to do a report on (in groups) and my group chose this. Part of my grade relies on this show... Shrek the Musical
When I did this, half our show was 5 year olds and a 1/6 were full grown adults and then there were the teenagers Somehow it still went okay except for when the girl threw up
Everything in this is painful to watch; except for Donkey, Pinocchio, the Wolf in the nightgown, and teenage Fiona. I stan all of them because they’re the people who know that they’re in a bad production but are still giving 100% of effort in their performance and they genuinely look like they’re having fun, and I just can’t hate on that
The girl playing Fiona sounds like she’s the girl in Disney originals that always gets casted as the main roll because she’s rich and the teacher’s favorite 😳
The amount of times you just went “YIKES” is the mood, I was in the JR. version of Shrek at my middle school and while the t slur got removed everything else was the same and it was BAD. Shrek is just like that™️.
I was Gingy in my high school production of this show. Our Pinocchio wasn’t very loud, but our Shrek and Fiona were iconic! Our Farquaad was very perfectly cast, and so was our Dragon.
I just came back to this after years and this comment section is sleeping on the dragon! Like teen Fiona is great but the dragon seriously does great and her song is hard!
"All freaks have been sent to a resettlement facility" at 1:52 with the caption "literally this is prolly gonna happen in like two years. america babey" is scarily accurate. 2020 ain't done with us yet, folks!
During my production of Shrek a bunch of people got sick. On the second night I had to sing the "I'm a scientologist" line from Freak Flag because the girl who played the fairy godmother got sick. The worst thing to happen, however, is the girl who played the dragon lost her voice for a really long time. Our choir director had to sing Forever from backstage. I felt so sorry for her, she sounds so incredible on Forever. A bunch of other stuff happened too, I swear this musical is cursed.
Omg please kill me. The actors never used the same vowels when singing together, some of them didn't even look like they wanted to be there, the techies were slow as fuuuuuuck, and holy shit some of these kids can't hold notes and not gonna lie, Donkey was the best in this lmaoooo. I pity all who had to watch all 2ish(?) hours of this...
Baby Fiona somehow reminds me of Topanga from Boy Meets World. Teen Fiona has a very sweet voice and demeanor. Adult Fiona is me when I’m having a breakdown and I’m ready to cut bangs. I would watch an entire show with these three as the Heathers ETA: I think if they reigned in Adult Fiona a bit and helped her, she would be a good Winnifred for Once Upon a Matress
0:07 - "It was a pretty NASTY place..." - That emphasis always kills me. I think that was the actor's secret message to the audience early on: "It was a pretty FUCK YOU, GET OUT OF HERE!" place..."

teen Fiona > adult Fiona
you can tell the girl playing Fiona really thinks she's Sutton Foster-ing this oh sweetie
I know right!! It is so irritating and over the top, I mean there is a very clear line when you know you're acting and when you're acting insane.
omg phahaha
She made her voice sound like she is literally thirty

But this part has the ogre screech. I don't know.
uh this one is superior
