Shrek on Stage

In 2001 one of the most side-splittingly entertaining movies ever to be made by Dreamworks came to theaters everywhere, bringing a rumble of laughter with it. The movie was colorful in every way, turning traditional fairytales on their heads with a deft, and somewhat muddy, twist of artistic license. The movie that viewers fell into comedic love with, Shrek, is now coming to Broadway from its home in Seattle, Washington. Since Hairspray became a big hit, Seattle is now becoming known as the place to go for shows that are headed to Broadway.

Fans of the movie will be excited to hear that there will be a great deal of new material involved in the musical.  While characters will have a similar look to the film, there are a lot of questions that are left open by the film which will be answered by the musical. With more than a whole extra hour of material added to the musical, that was not in the film, there is much to learn when the musical comes on stage.
