Thank you all so much for the support!!! I truly can't say thank you enough!!!!! Yes. Yet Another Shrek The Musical video. But it was fun to put together so why not? Here you go!
@@katelynpanter1185 yeah the actor gets knee pads, but they still need to stand backstage cuz of how much it hurts bring on their knees while performing (my friend played Farquaad in our high school musical)
I love this musical so much. I used to dislike cheesiness a lot as a kid so I’m glad I only saw it for the first time as a teen. I think people try to take this too seriously or compare it to the movie but I see it as it’s own thing. It’s so ridiculous it’s one of those films perfect for when you need cheering up. Not always what I’m in the mood for but when I am it hits perfectly!
@@Anime_theatre_lover I’ve gotta say newsies and shrek the musical are definitely my two cheer-up movies! I was fortunate to get to be in both productions and they were definitely some of my favorite to be a part of!
I honestly think they did a great job of making the movie into a musical. I felt like it was really true to the story and stuff. I don't know if I'm biased though because this musical and the soundtrack were my childhood so
@@shocktun3s729 I mean, you said it like a fact, and fairly bluntly, but its your opinion. It just seems very aggressive and hateful the way you said it, at least for me
I honestly thought this musical was really good! I love that they gave the characters a bit more backstory and emotion than they could in something thats target audience were kids.
i’m forever grateful to my parents for taking me to see this live and buying it for me on dvd when it came out i was so happy and it makes me really happy seeing more people agree that this musical was superb!
YALL WANNA HEAR SOMETHING CRAZY- MY MUSICAL THEATER TEACHER GREW UP WITH SUTTON FOSTER AND WE ARE DOING SHREK IN HONOR OF HER 😌 i have really tried to capture my inter Sutton Foster to play Fiona but i simply can not.
I do think that in this original Broadway recording of the play the actors didn’t put as much emotion in their voices as the actors in the movie and that’s the one beef I have with the original shrek the musical
I’ve literally been listening to the soundtrack of this musical and “I think I got you beat” is by far my favorite. This musical is just waaaay too good! Also Donkey and Faarquad are the best characters I’ll die on that hill.
I agree with a lot of the criticism for this musical (I would recommend watching Schaffrillas' video on it if you haven't) but I still love it - it's hilarious and some of the songs are straight up bangers
I really loved this musical as a kid so it’s nice seeing people love this musical as well. I always loved Donkeys song in this. Constantly listened to it
I was pinnochio in a jr production of shrek and I was SO MAD WITH ALL THE STUFF THEY TOOK OUT! Freak flag was about shrek and %95 of pinocchios lines were taken away :(
Performed in the Jr rendition of this play, (as a guard, (first play ever as well)), and holy F*CK it was the best idea I could've ever had. If I could, I would audition for the actual version as well- Got me into acting 100% and now it's my entire personality
This isn’t my fave musical, but I love how it takes the original movie and just adds more. Granted, there are some questionable(?) aspects of the musical, but it just doesn’t really take itself seriously, and that’s where the charm kicks in. (I say that and then Who I’d Be kicks me in the butt, but yk what I mean)
I remember seeing the trailer for this and was like "that's dumb". Years later I saw it on Netflix and was like "ok, I'll watch 5 mintues of it". 2 hours later it became one of my favorite plays
@@yeetfetus5269 not to rain on your parade, but TSfleming is right 😂 This video goes into depths about its problems th-cam.com/video/pWT7H9Kf8t8/w-d-xo.html Although please dont think this is me telling you not to enjoy the musical
1:32 I have seen this recording of the musical many a time and I just now realized that that was a reference to wicked and Mainly because someone pointed it out so yeah
The perfect musical production doesn’t exi-
This really isn't the perfect musical production... Far from perfect.
@@shocktun3s729 one might say, not good at all.
it misses the entire point of the movie tho
@@mrtoast244 also has terrible acting, voicework, character design, so, this guy don't know what he talkin bout.
@@DanielLovesArt I wouldn't even call my favourite musicals perfect as well
The fact that Farquad (or whatever) had to perform on his knees the whole time
@@katelynpanter1185 probably he has kneepads
@@katelynpanter1185 yeah the actor gets knee pads, but they still need to stand backstage cuz of how much it hurts bring on their knees while performing (my friend played Farquaad in our high school musical)
(Or whatever)
@@GippyHappy because idk how to spell his name🤷🏼♀️
@@hestikleynhans4926 It's okay you did a great job
The wicked high note at the end of whats up duloc is the best thing in this show im not exaggerating
The bar is pretty low for this show but it is kind of iconic
Ayyy another popee the performer fan who likes shrek the musical
He sounds like hog rider
Nah it's Pinocchios note in freak flag
I love this musical so much. I used to dislike cheesiness a lot as a kid so I’m glad I only saw it for the first time as a teen.

Ngl this is actually my favorite musical next to newsies
@@Anime_theatre_lover I’ve gotta say newsies and shrek the musical are definitely my two cheer-up movies! I was fortunate to get to be in both productions and they were definitely some of my favorite to be a part of!
Oh my gosh I was the same way
I honestly think they did a great job of making the movie into a musical. I felt like it was really true to the story and stuff. I don't know if I'm biased though because this musical and the soundtrack were my childhood so
I could be having the worst day but then listen to any of the songs and immediately feel better! Such a fun and hilarious play
Finally the respect this musical deserves
It doesn't.
@@shocktun3s729 neither do u ❤
@@johnboger6080 and you just said I am a bad person because why...? Because I don't like Shrek The Musical? Sure thing.
@@shocktun3s729 I mean, you said it like a fact, and fairly bluntly, but its your opinion. It just seems very aggressive and hateful the way you said it, at least for me
@@luanaastralis9991 okay, sure, sorry.
Why does Pinocchio seem like he should be played by mat pat
Don’t know that’s a good idea
yes
That’s genius
IM SCREAMING?
It's just a theory.... A GAME THEORY!!
I honestly thought this musical was really good! I love that they gave the characters a bit more backstory and emotion than they could in something thats target audience were kids.
I think you can tell the actor playing lord Farquad had a hard time not laughing at certain points
Oh for sure, idk how he’s able to keep it together
Kinda like the guy who plays king James in Hamilton 🤣
@@Alyssa_MC King James???
@Sleepy_cherry yeah u right , king George 🤴
@@Alyssa_MC Ahh
This musical was so funny idk why people hated it. Fiona was my highlight though 😂
“Oh, grow up!”
“I won’t grow up!!”
“You’re 34 and need a SHAVE!”
😂😂😂
"OOOOOOOAH YEAAAAA
Thats my fave part aslkdfjaljssfsda
"OOOOOOOHH YEAAAAA!!! Am I wrong?"
My highschool's production of this changed the line to "You'd look 40 if you didn't shave"
@@matthiasbuczylko7747 😂
donkey's actor's voice is so on point owo
This feels like a better live-action adaptation of Shrek if Hollywood planned to remake it into a live film.
I could see it as a raunchier, dreamworks version of The Princess Bride.
@@gonzobliter8or992 Yep!
3:20 I laughed way harder than my lungs should allow me
LITERALLY
i’m forever grateful to my parents for taking me to see this live and buying it for me on dvd when it came out i was so happy and it makes me really happy seeing more people agree that this musical was superb!
You can tell the guy playing Farquaad was having the time of his life.
The only reason this isn’t more popular is because I nobody can admit they love it.
3:26 i just want to know how much of this play was improv, honestly 😂 because this feels like it absolutely could’ve been
I watch this movie for Sutton Foster cause I’m a simple girl
Sutton CARRIED this movie
@@yeetfetus5269 so did Christopher
@@wafabilalkhawatmi2605 YES HE DIDDDDD
amen
YALL WANNA HEAR SOMETHING CRAZY- MY MUSICAL THEATER TEACHER GREW UP WITH SUTTON FOSTER AND WE ARE DOING SHREK IN HONOR OF HER 😌 i have really tried to capture my inter Sutton Foster to play Fiona but i simply can not.
This musicad no right to be as good as it was, but I'm so glad that it is.
This version of the musical is criminally underrated!!!
Broadway had made the best choice for the cast. I mean... LOOK AT FARQUAD.
I do think that in this original Broadway recording of the play the actors didn’t put as much emotion in their voices as the actors in the movie and that’s the one beef I have with the original shrek the musical
Wait am I dumb I thought like the voices on the Spotify playlist was this casts voices- are they different or am I just dumb
@@rileyherrig3347 this is the entirety of the original cast - the same one on the recording
3:34 best part
"AaAaAaWwWwWwWwWwWw YeAaAaAAAa 😤😠😒"
3:00 her facial expressions would be totally me!🤣😂🤣😂😂
Same!!
Average Broadway fan: king George III in Hamilton is the best comic villain of all time.
Me, an intellectual: Actually it’s Lord Farquad
One of the only productions where the musical is just as iconic as the movie 💅
I’ve literally been listening to the soundtrack of this musical and “I think I got you beat” is by far my favorite. This musical is just waaaay too good!
Also Donkey and Faarquad are the best characters I’ll die on that hill.
I agree with a lot of the criticism for this musical (I would recommend watching Schaffrillas' video on it if you haven't) but I still love it - it's hilarious and some of the songs are straight up bangers
2:15 is me when I pass my state test and college placement tests with flying colors.
Do you think Christopher Sieber's knees have healed since his time as Farquaad?
I really loved this musical as a kid so it’s nice seeing people love this musical as well. I always loved Donkeys song in this. Constantly listened to it
Shrek the musical is sooooo underrated
1:32 why isn’t this on the soundtrack?
I have no idea
Right?!?
Wicked reference
The best part about the proshot is some of it is filmed like it's The Office
Do you know where the whole thing is uploaded?
1:33
MEEEEN, so many times I've seen this musical and just now I understood this reference to Wicked.
Amazing.
3:40 the way he moves his head 😂
OHHHHH YEAHHHHH
The way he roasts Peter pan and moving his head is sending me
*"YOUR 34 AND NEED TO SHAVE!!"*
1:44 WHY DOES HE SOUND LIKE STEWIE FROM FAMILY GUY 💀💀
I love how great the singers are when how silly the musical is
1:25 the guy in the audience 💀💀
🤣
That one random guy in the audience having the time of his life is one of my favorite parts of this show 😂 you can hear him through the entire show
please the delivery of the "do you know the muffin man?" scene has me sobbing 😭
Do you know the muffin man?
Lord farquads daddy issues is the funniest thing to me
0:57
I didn’t see that coming 😂
1:01 I NEEDYOUINEEDYOUINEEDYOUINEEDYOUINEEDYOU
Okay but the play is better than movie solely bc of the fact that Donkey carries the whole thing on his back and is literally better than Eddie Murphy
Shrek, Fiona, and Farquaad are definitely my favorite parts of this show
I was pinnochio in a jr production of shrek and I was SO MAD WITH ALL THE STUFF THEY TOOK OUT! Freak flag was about shrek and %95 of pinocchios lines were taken away :(
“No - there’s no FOUR.” gets me EVERY TIME
Definitivamente pinochio é um dos melhores personagens do musical
when the gingerbread turned gospel i started levitating
Performed in the Jr rendition of this play, (as a guard, (first play ever as well)), and holy F*CK it was the best idea I could've ever had. If I could, I would audition for the actual version as well- Got me into acting 100% and now it's my entire personality
I WAS A GUARD TOO!! I was pinocchio as well as a duloc dancer
Farquaad has got to be my favorite character here, I cracked so much at "Whoah, plastic horseee" and the part where he actually stood up for a moment
whoever did donkey did the best in my opinion-
I have zero time for people hating on this play. It's one of my favorite musicals ever!
I died laughing when Pinocchio screamed at 0:19😂.
This musical unironically one of the best
Fiona from Shrek the musical, has the same energy as Delia Deetz in Beetle Juice the musical
This isn’t my fave musical, but I love how it takes the original movie and just adds more. Granted, there are some questionable(?) aspects of the musical, but it just doesn’t really take itself seriously, and that’s where the charm kicks in. (I say that and then Who I’d Be kicks me in the butt, but yk what I mean)

1:30 Material Girl 💀👍😍✨
I did a summer production of Shrek the musical, I was Gingy and my sister was Donkey. It was so much fun, and I loved learning how to use the puppet
I had to watch this in middle school for Theater class once and I just found it kinda stupid but when it’s out of context it’s so much better💀
I'm hopefully gonna be ponochio for my play!! Wish me luck!! 🤞
Break a leg, you got this!
@@yeetfetus5269 thanks :)) I'll let you know if I got it or not
@@sadiesstuff4270 Did you get it? Hopefully you did.
I love when actors just Ham it the fuck it and you can tell they’re loving it.
1:22 THE MUFFIN MAN!!!!!
THE MUFFIN MAN!!!!!!
Christopher Sieber KILLED it!! 🔥
this is still my favorite musical since it came out 😭😭
4:27 “I’m supposed to be beautiful.”
“But you Are beautiful.” 🥺
idc what anyone says,
this musical is incredible💖
Props to donkey for being able to run in those hooves, it seems pretty hard to that tbh
John Tartaglia is so sassy in literally everything he's in love him x
🎶Life is disappointing🎶
🎶That's the story of my life✨ YESSIR✨🎶
sutton was robbed of a tony and i will stand by that
2:30 *_NOW!_*
As someone who did this as my high school musical this was a journey through time
Shrek is life
Shrek is life
Shrek is life
Shrek is love
I remember seeing this as a kid and finding it hilarious, and now that I'm older I find this the funniest thing ever.
This musical is so good and I fell in love with the sugar plum fairy
God, I wish I saw this live.
I love this musical so much
I’m playing Faarquad in the Jr. version
Break a Leg!
@@yeetfetus5269 Thanks!
It seems the actors had a fucking blast
It’s just a donkey 😂
Me talking to my bbf's me: and she's married to the MUFFIN MAN
Bff's: the muffin man?
Me:THE MUFFIN MAN
I've never seen this but now I want to
You should! It’s amazing! It’s on netflix!
@@yeetfetus5269 I've seen the other Shreks countless times but never the musical. I definitely will put this on soon!
@@yeetfetus5269 I just watched it... that was the dumbest shit I've ever seen😂
It's funny for all the wrong reasons
@@ScottishScrub clearly, someone isn’t into theatre😂
@@yeetfetus5269 not to rain on your parade, but TSfleming is right 😂
This video goes into depths about its problems th-cam.com/video/pWT7H9Kf8t8/w-d-xo.html
Although please dont think this is me telling you not to enjoy the musical
Some of my favourite parts: 0:11 & 0:58, 4:26 The dragon part gets me every time
4:15 this could be my sis 😂😂😢
Is it just me or Fiona's voice sounds like a viking warrior lady?
1:32 I have seen this recording of the musical many a time and I just now realized that that was a reference to wicked and Mainly because someone pointed it out so yeah
John Tartaglia (Pinocchio) is precious.
people look at me side ways when I tell them this is my favorite musical 😂(im 17 btw)
shrek the musical is still my favorite childhood movie :]
i’m not lying when i tell u that’s the best musical i’ve ever seen and i haven’t even seen it in person
I have a Dragon and im not afraid to use it best quote❤😂
I'm really WIDE AWAKE!!!
I love this musical so much
I'm gonna watch this look funny fun thk u for u video
After watching the musical.... idk why people hate this musical....
IT'S HILARIOUS!🤣
2:39 why was that transition so smooth
How the hell was bunheads canceled? She's amazing!!
Damn they made Donkey zesty as fuck.
I wish you added my favorite part when Fiona calls out to god, “Are you there god? It’s me FIONAAAA!”
“And our preen-up will be binding”
EDIT: Fiona and Shrek dancing during the wedding 😭😭😭 I can’t-
