No joke bc of the coronavirus, my professor is making us write a 2,000 word paper critiquing Shrek the Musical instead of taking a final exam. This is by far the best and most in depth review I’ve found for this musical
I knew I couldn't be the only one who loved the musical, that song about Shrek actually wanting to be a hero almost made me cry, and I never cry with movies, I mean this is basically another movie.
I can understand why you didn't know this, but videos of Bway musicals are called proshots, not films :) Pinocchio was played by a man named John Tartaglia and if you like him, you should listen to the Sirius XM on broadway radio channel and check out the musical he wrote, which is called Avenue Q. To be more specific, its 8,423 days in the tower. There are also references to Pippin, Gypsy, and Dreamgirls, off the top of my head. When talking about other songs to listen to, there is a song for the Dragon that was added for the national tour that was called "Forever" and that was where the dreamgirls reference comes in. It is really sassy and fun but still it conveys the isolation and pain that that character experienced like the other principles. If you haven't guessed, I am a HUGE theatre fan and I'm in a production of Shrek and I'm playing the Dragon lol
Now I get some points you make but the original Shrek movie was still a wonderful masterpiece. And Fiona wasn't a stale character at all and she was very funny and likable. Yes, the Musical had a better showing of the tale but that doesn't mean you bash the movie because that was a success too!!
When I got to see this musical in the live tour they replaced Donkey Pot Pie with another song (and had a much better puppet for Dragon) Haven't been able to find that version of the song, though.
I've been die hard obsessed with this since 2015 and to this day, my favourite lines are Fiona's: ''I am sweetness, I am Bratty, I'm a princess, I'm a fatty, I'm a mess of contradictions in a dress'' And where Shrek sings ''I know I'm not the handsome prince, for whom you waited, I don't have a fancy castle, and I'm not sophisticated, a princess and an ogre, i admit, is complicated, you've never read a book like this, but fairytales should really be updated.'' And im not even gonna talk about how amazing Who I'd be cause that would end up a freakin essay.
I'm going to be honest I like forever much better. We get to learn so much more about the dragon. And just how frustrated she's been having to take care of Fiona.
This play is way better than it had any right to be. You just know DreamWorks came up with the idea as a lazy cash grab, but the team they hired to make it put so much effort into the music, production, writing, acting, direction, set design and makeup. They really cared about making this play good and it shows. I went in expecting it to suck but was pleasantly surprised. Now I find myself watching it quite a bit.
I KNOW RIGHT, I DIDNT EXPECT SUCH BANGERS FROM SHREK THE MUSICAL
THEY'RE SO GOOD!
@Ty The Great I could say Snazzy tracks, don't tempt me

Wait, the person who played Pinocchio in an awesome musical, wrote another awesome musical? Small world.
Shrek the musical is epic
Donkey Potpie is great but was cut after it left Broadway. Was replaced with Forever which, for me, is a better, funnier song.

You know Shrek the musical was on Broadway too you can see it live I mean it wasn't just on Netflix I mean you could see it live on stage
Shrek the movie references popular movies and Shrek the musical references popular musicals. I think that's beautiful
Did you know Donkey pot pie was not in the original musical? It's a song called fforever and I like it better than donkey pot pie honestly
I actually didn't know that, is the original one available anywhere?
I'm going to be honest I like forever much better. We get to learn so much more about the dragon. And just how frustrated she's been having to take care of Fiona.
