Are there any pictures of the Shrek marquee that anyone has. I am curious to know what it looks like.

A question mark would have been nice.

I hate that logo even more than the old one.

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

and the worst part, is that this ugly is competing with the MASSIVE Ugly Betty at Times Square (on the Toys R Us I think...)

I once heard someone describe her (Ruthie Henshall) singing as sounding as though she's trying to swallow a whole meatball slightly larger than her windpipe. (The same person compared Michael Ball's singing to sounding as though he's sitting on a washing machine on spin cycle and Colm Wilkinson's to a man with a paralyzed lip trying to eat cottage cheese.) --- Schmerg_The_Impaler

If you think that's ugly, have you ever seen the William Steig illustrations for his original book?

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Wow that's a pretty awful book cover.

But getting back to the marquee...yeah that's pretty ugly. I can't imagine that would get anyone excited about seeing the show.

Around the edge of the theatre they already have some production photos, which do look pretty good.

They could have really used a big blow-up "S" or something...

I don't really get what's so wrong with it.

1) This logo with the illustrated character silhouettes is SO much more charming than the original that was just a giant "S" with antennae and pitifully read as "The Musical Shrek". WTF? So this Broadway production is about a continued adventure of Shrek where he's a concert pianist? No. The new logo is volumes better, IMO.

2) Look at how little actual marquee space is there at the Broadway Theatre. All the permanent installation offers is the band around the bottom and the two long poster frames above. Given what little space they have to work with, I think it looks great.

It's GREEN, bright, and cute.

What do you want, animatronics of the characters stapled to the exterior? =)

I have to admit that I lost any potential bulge in my crotch too when first saw this marquee. I was like, "Are they serious?" For me, the silhouette of Shrek (with the ears and all) would have been the best selling point -- not the whole "ugly/green" theme.

btw, there's also an aggressive subway poster campaign going on right now with the same green sign. I saw it like 5 times before I realized that it was advertising Shrek on Broadway.

Sometimes you wonder how much producers pay for these marketing agencies. . . .

I don't see what is wrong with this marquee, you are just a bunch of complainers.

bwayfan9 , shut your racist mouth up. And realize it's marquee not marguee.

I do think that the green stripe around the bottom did remind me of tarzan.
