I showed this to my new crop of students yesterday and they can't believe how much work goes into being part of the ensemble...now they all want to be in the ensemble and not in the leads! Great video and thanks again for posting it!
WOW! I can't believe you had that many makeup, wig, and clothing changes! Amazing work! If you are that tanlted at a quike change you much shin on stage.
OK I've seen some pretty heavy ensemble shows but this just...hats off to you Georgina! 7 costume changes including two quick changes, along with hair, makeup, and prosthetics! I think the craziest track I've ever done myself is when I was in the Ensemble of The Wedding Singer(ensemble for the opening, Loser for Casualty of Love, Partygoer for Saturday Night in the City, Solist #1 in All About the Green(quick change), Ricky in Single(VERY quick change), and a member of the Secret Service in Grow Old With You(Quick Change)). We love having almost no guys in our High School Drama Department.
Bit late to the party but I’ve got two questions - 1. Is it difficult switching your mind to each character 2. For Believer what character are you for it?
Hi Georgia, firstly this is amazing, mad props to everyone in the ensemble for the amount of costume changes. I was just wondering what the first costume was for and also why were you dressed as Fiona? Thanks!
Thank you! So glad you like the video! Such good fun for the ensemble :) The first costume the ensemble play 'happy villagers' for the opening scene (Big Bright Beautiful World). To answer your other question, I played the role of Teen Fiona which is why I am in Fiona style costume. (For the song I Know It's Today) Hope this helps. Thanks so much for watching :)
Omg how many parts did you have? In my school's Shrek I was a Duloc citezen, Young Fiona, and a Colorful Bird in Morning Person. Btw we did the JR version.
Ah, we had the same roles! :) I hope you had as much fun as I did! :) My Ensemble track was:- Happy Villager, Baby Bear, Duloc Doll, Teen Fiona, Spoon Puppet, Bird in Morning Person, Tap Dancing Rat & Blind Mouse :)
I have a question, were there not enough people to play some the roles you were or were you just so talented that they chose you for all the roles you played? I would have loved to play all those characters but I am so happy and lucky I got casted as Suger Plum/Gingy and the colorful bird in the Morning Person song
How did you manage to go from a happy villager to baby bear? From what I remember there's an insanely small gap between the scenes, and you literally applied a full face of makeup and a costume. Did I miss smth?
Imagine putting on the makeup for the wrong character during a quick change for example putting on all you baby bear makeup even tho your next character is a duloc doll
I went on with the wrong shoes once in a production of Annie. I was the marine guard who delivered a message to FDR, but when I got backstage to change, my dress shoes were nowhere to be found. I went on stage wearing my regular (Hooverville) shoes. (After the show, I found my dress shoes across the room, under someone else's costume.)
Which Fiona were you young Fiona teen Fiona or adult Fiona cause my best friend would be a great Fiona if she was in shriek cause she wears her hair in a high plait all the time
The episodes were from the first UK Tour of Shrek, which have now been removed. Luckily I saved mine beforehand :) Video edited by my talented little sister:- th-cam.com/users/creativechickenart
Perspective: she plays 8 different characters (including her offstage and puppet roles) Has 5 make up changes 7 total Costume changes 7 total Hair changes Geezy creezy she must be tired just from that without the actual singing, acting, and dancing
DSM Productions (official) Hi, wigs are used because these quick changes are QUICK.. it is so much faster to change a wig than it is to change hairstyle. From this video you can see that the ensemble have ALOT of different characters to portray throughout the show. Plus they look amazing on stage and will look the same for every performance. I am a brunette, but the green dress is Teen Fiona which is actually a red wig. I hope this helps.
Georgina Parkinson you can find actresses with the right hair and surely Fiona should look more ginger and you’re brunette to start with and wasting money when you’re not broadway is the reason decent ticket prices don’t exist
"You auditioned for the role of -----, and you're perfect for it! Unfortunately your hair is the wrong color. We're going with an inferior actor with the right hair color and length."
TipsyGamer there are awesome actresses who look correct and they get ignored, broadway has far better budgets and on a tight budget getting a actress who looks the part isn’t that ridiculous

morty66 Ahh.. so glad your students enjoy this! You're so welcome. Yes- it is so much fun being part of the ensemble! :)

Thank you! Although in real life it takes me forever to choose an outfit and get changed 😅

Thanks Dane! WOW it sounds like you had a pretty busy show too, on and offstage! Hats off to you too :)

I can't believe they had her playing all those parts.
I had so much fun!! :)
It's great to see how much the performers really work. As a fellow actor, I have to say it is always awesome to see the magic take place!
Thank you for this, my students adore Georgina!

My goodness, so many costumes and make up changes. How do you keep up your energy and your skin so healthy?
Omg how many parts did you have? In my school's Shrek I was a Duloc citezen, Young Fiona, and a Colorful Bird in Morning Person. Btw we did the JR version.

TipsyGamer Thank you :) I'm glad you enjoyed the video!!
do you know Lisa Ho well if you don't she's the original baby bear on shrek the musical
Hi, sorry no I don't know Lisa. This was from UK Tour of Shrek the Musical. But nice to hear the name of the original/fellow Baby Bear 🐻
Amazing!
Did you play teenage princess Fiona because I saw you in the crown and the green dress
How many characters idd you play? And what were they?
I have a question, were there not enough people to play some the roles you were or were you just so talented that they chose you for all the roles you played? I would have loved to play all those characters but I am so happy and lucky I got casted as Suger Plum/Gingy and the colorful bird in the Morning Person song
This is what the ensemble roles entail :) So lucky to have been able to have such a busy show! :) Congratulations on being cast in your roles too!
How did you manage to go from a happy villager to baby bear? From what I remember there's an insanely small gap between the scenes, and you literally applied a full face of makeup and a costume. Did I miss smth?
Imagine putting on the makeup for the wrong character during a quick change for example putting on all you baby bear makeup even tho your next character is a duloc doll
Haha easily done! I did forget to change my shoes once...!! Baby Bear was wearing Jazz Shoes for 1 scene by accident... whoops!
I went on with the wrong shoes once in a production of Annie. I was the marine guard who delivered a message to FDR, but when I got backstage to change, my dress shoes were nowhere to be found. I went on stage wearing my regular (Hooverville) shoes. (After the show, I found my dress shoes across the room, under someone else's costume.)
How many characters did she play. Probably like 20. Or it looks like 20
I think 8 characters in total :)
me when i do a performance in my room by myself
Haha love this comment! :)
2:46? Does anyone know what character or thing this is?
I think it’s a bear
My guess would be Baby Bear as that’s what is in the title
@@kimberley27 yeah but they aren’t on stage, they are singing in like a recording thing backstage.
At my school, we’re doing Shrek Jr, I got baby bear :3
Which Fiona were you young Fiona teen Fiona or adult Fiona cause my best friend would be a great Fiona if she was in shriek cause she wears her hair in a high plait all the time
If you scroll down the comments you should be able to see that someone asked a similar question and the reply was Teen Fiona 💚
where are the rest of these episodes?!
The episodes were from the first UK Tour of Shrek, which have now been removed. Luckily I saved mine beforehand :) Video edited by my talented little sister:- th-cam.com/users/creativechickenart
Wow!!!
Thank you! Glad you like it! :)
We’re you actually singing that high or was it modified?
Perspective:
she plays 8 different characters (including her offstage and puppet roles)
Has 5 make up changes
7 total Costume changes
7 total Hair changes
Geezy creezy she must be tired just from that without the actual singing, acting, and dancing
Haha, love this! Oh and those two show days, you got to do it all again
Damn.
I'm doing this show aswell. I'm Ugly Duckling quack
8 months later.........

Hi there
Hi
Good morning my beautiful
My strawberry 6
hello
Hi! 🙋🏻
Why was her in the green dress wigged, couldn’t you find a brunette actress it’s as if you pick actresses with the wrong hair to waste money on wigs
