This was awesome. I love this musical. I haven't seen it yet, but the music is incredible. I sang Who I'd Be for a state competition and advanced on to nationals. I can't wait till the tour comes to my town next fall!
yes for most of them but those are the most popular ones, the new beginning ones are on Broadway for about a year, then they go on tour and then go back.
It's so fun seeing some of the alternate fairy tale creatures, like the Mad Hatter and Tweedle Dee. Does anyone know who the character is on Farquaad's left starting around 2:17? Looks to be some sort of male witch with a purple pointed hat.
WOOOHOOOOO daniel breaker (Donkey) ROCK ON THAT MIKE! John tartaglia (Pinocchio) ROCK THAT KEYBOARD younge + teen fiona ROCK THOSE GUITARS! im gonna watch that again
The two girls who are dressed like Fiona are in the show and they play the younger versions of Fiona, the youngest is supposed to be her at like 8 and the older of the girls is supposed to be her in her teens.
@rawshaark They were. It probably would have been hard to hear with the wind and the screaming and the motors and floats and speakers would be hard to carry and hook up for instruments and mics, so they probably just had everyone lip sync.
Okay, they did Freak Flag for EVERY SINGLE performance. This is the song that everyone knows from Shrek. This was a great performance and I'm glad they did it. Great show too. Enough of this "WHY DIDN'T THEY DO FREAK FLAG" crap. It was a logical choice to pick. I'm just mad that my VCR messed up and didn't record this. LAME.
I'm sorry but you are mistaken...name one example of what you are talking about. Sure original bway actors go on tour with their shows (Bob Martin did US Tour of Drowsy Chaperone, Ashley Brown is doing Mary Poppins Tour now) but the Broadway cast does not leave broadway to tour and return. I don't see Brian D"Arcy or Sutton ever touring again.
Back where? Not to Broadway anytime in the near future!!! Shows have Bway casts and Touring casts simultaniously (Wicked, Jersey Boys, In the Heights etc.) Shrek is leaving Bway b/c it's not making enough money.
