An all-new Shrek the Musical embarks on a national tour beginning February 2024. For more details on upcoming tour dates. Visit, shrekthemusicaltour.com
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
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?!
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?
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.
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 RU-vid video by Sully about all the details.
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.
Have you actually seen the quality of the show? They are charging Broadway touring prices for high school/community theater level quality. If the ticket prices were the equivalent of high school or community theater then fine you get what you pay for but you can't charge an arm and a leg for tickets when the quality just isn't there. I feel bad for the actors hopefully they can find better jobs because this is just wasting their talents.
Your set and costumes are terrible. The show was subpar. Shrek does not have hair, and donkey is literally wearing a sweater/hoodie for a costume. The actors deserved more, and so did the audience. Shame on you.
Just saw it in Atlanta last night and totally agree with your post. Hated the Shrek child puppet as well as the creepy ventriloquist heads for Shrek's parents. The puppets used for the young versions of Fiona were creepy too. There were some cute, funny parts and the cast was terrific but definitely not worth the price of admission. There were also issues with the volume of the mics after intermission which was causing a weird echo effect. The center spotlight in the back of the stage kept blinding us. Everything seemed rushed. After intermission, I don't think Lord Farquaad ever sang a whole song. And with Lord Farquaad being as tall as everyone else, there were no "short" jokes. Disappointed that there wasn't more information about this being a revamped version when the tickets went on sale.
On our way soon to Denver next week to see our granddaughter , Katherine . Can’t wait ! Reviews are so great on the performances so far . Don’t miss it if it comes close to your city .
I was 8 when I discovered Shrek the Musical's broadway production and became aware of Sutton Foster (Broadway Princess Fiona) I have followed the show when I didn't get to see the OG National US Tour with Haven Burton, then the 3 West End Fiona's: Amanda Holden, Kimberly Walsh, and Carly Stenson, after hearing about every UK tour I'm happy to now finally getting to see the Show in April with Cecily, especially since she is the first POC to play the role of Princess Fiona
