BroadwayWest: Try Benihana's (sit in the sushi bar), Rock Bottom (love their Salmon and chips), or, if you don't mind spending a bit more, Wild Ginger (a slight walk from the theatre; most delicious food I've ever had in Seattle; make sure to get a reservation).

TDH, according to IMDB, it's someone named Conrad Vernon. He seems to work mainly in animation.

The Shrek page at Telecharge has a different logo: http://www.telecharge.com/BehindTheCurtain.aspx?ProdID=6347

I wonder why they're not using the standard artwork (with the big green 'S') anymore... because they used to.

I kind of like that logo better than the original. I like the silhouette of Shrek and Donkey...

I believe that is the final artwork. They are selling shirts with it at the 5th Avenue Theatre.

SO ... last night on a whim we decided to see Shrek! Got pretty good seats considering we bought our tickets at 5:30 pm. So here are my opinions:

I was quite impressed. The cast is phenomenal - and Christopher Sieber steals the show. Completely blew me away. His number Things are Looking Up in Duloc literally stopped the show. This is not to say they need to do some major adjusting.

Act 1 (other than the previous song) is so SLOW and the music really is not that catchy. Nothing that makes you go wow. The opening sequence (not sure what has been said so I don't want to spoil anything) is completely pointless and adds nothing to the show. Mind you - this is only the songs. The scenes are clever - and even though it's a bit heavy handed on the whole pop-culture reference stuff, I know it's Shrek! and that's a part of what it is. The dragon's number is bland, which seems like a waste for a very talented woman. Overall I gave it a B-.

Act 2, on the other hand, was everything I expected from the show. High energy, dancing, clever. Loved it! The funny thing was that my boyfriend's song list was different from mine, so we were trying to figure out who had the right one.

One of my biggest problems is that Shrek doesn't actually get a killer number. Fiona, Farquaad and Donkey do, but his song's are just not that fun.

The cast is truly awesome. Brian D'Arcy James truly inhabits Shrek. I so wish they write him a kick-@$$ song soon. Sutton Foster is so charming, perfect for the part. John Tartaglia was SO funny - and there are even a couple of Ave Q references that were cute. Chester Gregory was fine, but one can't help to compare him to Eddie Murphy since the lines are pretty much the same. Kecia Lewis-Evans is terribly under-used as the Dragon. Those are tough hooves to fill. (bad pun) The ensemble is truly all very talented, each shining as the fairy tale creatures.

We went out for drinks after, and were lucky enough to go to the place where the cast goes. On my way out I congratulated some of the cast members - all very gracious and fun, and even got to share a few words with Mr. Sieber. What a gentleman!

With a few fixes, this show should be a huge hit on Broadway.

Already major changes have been made to the show. 'I Could Get Used To This' & 'The Wall' have been dropped from the show and replaced.

A little known fact is that in the original screenplay, Pan's Labyrinth was Pan's FLAByrinth. Hmmmmmmm...glad they changed it.
