the score is awesome.
i don't know what the reviewers were expecting..
if it were too hummable they would've called it dreck.
tesori's songs are beautiful, not always predictable, and very tuneful.
it's just right for what this show is.
the dragon was the only awkward moment in the show for me.
the puppet looked great..i just think that the number was poorly staged.

i think Shrek is superior to Wicked in almost every way:
book, music, lyrics, lead performances, comedy, sincerity, set design..
the exception: MAYBE direction.

agreed Matty.. this is crap. Eli Stone was easily one of the best written and acted shows on tv. Jonny Lee Miller is truly amazing.

Roxy - you don't think Brantley critiques?
wow, i actually find him to be the ONLY reviewer to give constructive criticism where it's due. i may disagree with brantley at times- who doesn't disagree with critics (more often than not i agree with him) - but he's a fantastic writer who is actually there to review the play in front of him.

boyish? just bc he's pretty, does not mean he's boyish. yes, he's a tenor..but he's quite manly. just a bit different from someone like Jackman

Yeah Connick and Jackman are great choices. Patrick Wilson would also be great, IMO. It just shouldn't be someone too young looking.. they'd look like Platt's son.

I'm sure that many would love to see Cheyenne as Sky..but i would really dig seeing Hugh Jackman as Sky..just the physicality of who I think Sky is - perfect for Jackman. I'm sure opinions will be all over the map. I'm just curious.
Also, you know it'll probably be someone considerably huge, given that Oliver Platt and Lauren Graham have already been announced.
