A Shrek the Musical Fanblog

[fire-breathing-pain-in-the-neck]

One thing I love about Shrek the Musical is that it uses the ensemble of fairytale creatures who are these individuals that can’t be placed into boxes, and takes their same actors and makes them the Duloc dancers, who are literally the exact opposite and are living as oppressed beings to walk and talk the same or be killed.

It’s just a really cool duality to me that one group can be themselves while the other is forced to conform, yet they are being played by the same people.

Signal Boost to Help Kids Keep Their Mother's House and Her Cats

Donate to Alice Yvonne MacLean, organized by Courtney Peet

My name is Courtney, im fundraising on behalf of my recently passed mother in law and her two survi… Courtney Peet needs your support for Al

Okay, so, it's been a hot minute; but, once again, since this side-blog has more eyeballs on it, I'm signal-boosting the important stuff here to help someone out. In this case, someone who will need to cover for their deceased mother's house, possessions, and five cats while they also try to cover funeral bills.

I know, money is tight for most of us, but every little bit helps; and the more this gets seen by folks who can afford to donate, the better. Just spreading the word helps significantly.

You know, the biggest problem with Shrek the Musical is that it is genuinely good and does a great job of expanding on the characters, but because Shrek has become such a meme, you sound insane telling anyone who hasn’t seen the musical about it.

Shrek: The Musical

5/5 (Spoilers)

I finally watched this way too late. I’ll start by saying I’d heard only good things, and it still went above and beyond my expectations.

Firstly I’d like to note the creativity in all aspects of the show. Not only was the stage design incredible but how much the performers were able to interact with the props and the stage itself. I also loved the use of puppets for some of the characters and animals.

Secondly I adore the costumes. I can’t imagine how much time and effort went into these costumes and outfits that made them so good looking. Shrek was definitely my favorite costume, but every other was was on the same level of excellence.

Both the singing and dance choreography was incredible as far as performances go. The standouts for me were Sutton Foster as Fiona and Daniel Breaker as Donkey. They both had a level of pizazz to their performance that I loved. I also saw with them (and Brian D’arcy James as Shrek) a chemistry that made me feel the closeness that developed between these characters.

Another small note I had was the minor details that just immersed me more and more as the show went on. My favorites being the various mechanisms in the background as Shrek and Donkey were making their way to Fiona’s tower, Lord Farquaad’s little baby feet hanging out of the bathtub in that scene, and the way Donkey’s ears moved around sometimes when he was speaking.

Lastly, the show was just hilarious. I was laughing loudly at 1 am for what felt like every 5 minutes. Also my partner compared me to Shrek when he farted and kept dancing after “I Think I Got You Beat”.

All in all, I clearly enjoyed this. This was such a fun show to watch and I’m almost ashamed I hadn’t watched it sooner. I would recommend it to anyone, whether they’re into musicals or otherwise. Excellent experience.

They’re close to their initial goal of $10, 000, but are aiming for a total of $15, 000 with less than a month left.

Even if you can’t donate yourself, spreading the word would be much appreciated.

Thinkin about how much I love the ways people block long journeys (especially journeys on foot) in stage shows. Wait For Me, The Road Goes On, The Travel Song, even Drive to a certain extent - how do you communicate travel over long distances when you're stuck on a stage? The ways that directors are forced to be creative to show this sort of thing and the fact that they are always different brings me immeasurable joy

Something I’ve noticed about Shrek the musical is that in the song “Who I’d Be”, Shrek specifically mentions that he would want to be a poet and specifically ” write a different story,/One that tells of glory, and wipes away the lies”

The musical begins and end with narration by Shrek and I know songs aren’t quite poems but I like to imagine that Shrek has written his own story based on a real adventure and is now telling it to us
