Unfortunately not, it’s an official professional non-union tour. This is the second variation of this tour, the first half looked a lot worse. I recommend a TH-cam video by Sully about all the details.
Saw this in Atlanta and was so disappointed. The creepy puppets for the young Fionas and young Shrek and the creepier ventriloquist heads for Shrek's parents were just a start. Costumes and set designs were subpar. I wouldn't waste your money on this version.
No they decided that it was mean to make fun of conditions that people can’t control so they decided not to make him short anymore because it’s mean spirited. They replaced those jokes with jokes about him wearing pumps, so they’re still making fun of being short, makes no sense.
@@jonathanspray2362 The character is short. That's the joke. His dad was a dwarf, literally. Having him portrayed as a regular sized dude, even a short one, isn't the way you address any concerns over it. They could've hired a little person if they didn't want to go the knees route, but also, the actor singing and dancing on his knees almost the entire show is a huge part of what makes Shrek the Musical so great.
Just got tickets I’m so excited, I don’t care if it’s bad this is my favorite musical of all Time! Also like this isn’t a Broadway production i don’t get why people are trying to hold it up to that standard
Glad you changed the costumes so it's not so high school. Oh wait. And Farquaad being short is half his schtick. Also what's with the changing of the line at the end of Freak Flag?
Is it too late to request a refund on my tickets? I saw a high school production almost 5+ years ago and it was higher quality than what I'm seeing here. Why the fuck are they charging almost $30 (on the low end) for this level of quality?!
Absurd price for the quality of this production.
School.production? I saw on Broadway in 2009 and what I see now. Uffffff. Look like they bought all costumes on aliexpress . Ridiculous

if you think this is bad, look at the first tours

The puppets are a jump scare.
its fixed bro
@@HeitorMD It's really not.
Dude the quality has dropped so much for literally EVERYTHING. Costumes, sets, etc…😭😭😭
Stop making Farquard regular size plz I like his tiny man look
Ive only seen the version with Brian Darcy James. I'm going to see it live soon. Is this what it looks like now? Because now I'm really upset.
Wait, is Farquaad not on his knees??
no he’s just the actors height

it's a non-equity tour.
@@alexoy2k Emphasis on "non equity."
@@leah6820-y9v and this wasn't even the first version when it premiered. it was WAYYYY worse
Oh i saw the pictures.
Just got tickets I’m so excited, I don’t care if it’s bad this is my favorite musical of all Time!

I went and it was awesome! Don’t let the negativity get you down and enjoy the talented cast!
price is outrage
This is crazy. What’s with the production design
First mistake was casting a big black woman as fiona

You could see a high school production that knocks this out of the water.
This is truly just another cash grab tour.
Ah, so now i see why there's no videos of this on TH-cam 😂😂😂

Did they see Shrek not Shrek the musical Shrek the movie
No disrespect to the performers at all, but this looks appalling. Those in charge of this should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
This looks awful
Looks great
