Thank you PalJoey! And like BNN said thank you to all who have done what they can to save bits and pieces of the show for posterity.

Saw half the Spring Awakening cast on the downtown N a week or so after the show opened.

BFB: I agree 100% about Stephanie J. Block. It was wonderful to see her in a role that really cements her as a top-notch singing actress.
I know it's dumb to say this so early but I smell a Tony!

re: What's the most number of shows you've seen in a single month? Aug 27
2008, 07:02:00 PM
Looks like my record is 13 in November 2006.
I saw 11 of those shows in one week. (My grandma was visiting)
Runners up:
12 in December 2006
10 in March 2007
10 in May 2007
ETA: And because I'm super-bored right now I calculated the average number of shows I saw per month during the three years that I was living in New York. It's 4. Sounds about right to me.
A few months ago (on another boring day) I went through all my ticket

Hearing about all the changes really makes me want to see the show again once it hits Broadway.
Sounds like some good changes so far...

No student discounts. Normally 5th Ave Theatre offers cheap day-of tickets for people under 25 years old but they are not for doing that for Shrek.

Wow. No need to be so harsh. It wasn't a real review and I didn't say I thought it was bad. I said I think it's going to be a hit with the tourists and that there will be theatre snobs who will dislike it. And no I didn't pay attention to who was in the entire cast before going. Why the unwarranted meanness?

Okay, one more.
Haven Burton played the Sugar Plum Fairy (with an odd deep-voiced Russian accent) and Gingy.
ETA...huh..I didn't actually look at the program when I was in the theatre. I had no idea that John Tartaglia played Pinocchio. Hard to see faces from the balcony.

Nope. Sorry. But seriously I hope they work on his costume.

I thought Donkey's costume was lame. It looked like a cheap halloween costume. (see my description above of the bunny costume painted gray)
He walked upright and had hooves on his hand and what looked like black workboots on his feet and a little gray vest. Maybe they're still working on the costume. I hope so because it looks pretty lame next to Shrek's costume.

Uh, I guess I'm not sure what you're asking but they had a standard 5th ave theatre program (for those unfamiliar...and I'm sure that will be most of you it's bigger than a playbill)
It's got the logo with the big "s" that says Shrek the musical world premiere.

Pinnochio is a real man (haha) and his costume looked great.
The gingerbread man was a puppet.
Sutton was an ogre at the end. She had plenty of time to change during the wedding scene. They just play a little trick a few scenes earlier but it isn't very well executed. The ogre-Fiona walks behind a tree upstage and Sutton comes out of a different tree farther downstage.
Acting and singing good for the most part. The fairy tale creatures performances were
