Does anyone know if the song "Howl at the Moon" will be in the upcoming musical Shrek. There's a vid on YouTube of Andy Karl performing it; but it's my understanding that it was from a different composer...??
Just curious, I think it's a great song.

Posted: 7/8/08 at 4:39pmNo, it won't be in the show. A bunch of composers were asked to audition for Shrek. Abaire/Tesori got the show, but "Howl at the Moon" was written by Larry O'Keefe.

Shame. It really captures the spirit of the story for me.
Are there any demos of Abaire/Tesori's stuff kicking around?

Posted: 7/8/08 at 4:54pmI also really liked "Fire Hot Lady" and "Howl at the Moon", I really wish O'Keefe would've gotten the project, I feel like he really understood the tone that I thought the show should have.

I never said anything about Tesori or her skills, she's a wonderful composer. I was just disappointed to hear O'Keefe didn't actually get the job since I really, really loved the songs i'd heard.

Ummm....since when is SHREK a wolf?
And how much "howling" exactly did anyone expect to be in the Broadway version???
Nice song. Talented performer. Wrong show.

Posted: 7/8/08 at 9:06pmI agree with Kelly, I think the song really captured the character and the point of the story. And Fire Hot Lady was pure fun, very enjoyable. I was disappointed that O'Keefe didn't get it, but I do love Tesori, so I still have high hopes!
