No, I wasn't saying I was there. However, judging from her previous work, I think that he really has not right critcizing her. He says all the time that he's sick of "showtunes" (paraphrasing there, but he said that a lot on Theater Talk last year), but not he's saying her music isn't "showtune"-y enough. What the hell does he want? She's an astute, talented and really great composer.
And I didn't hear the lyrics either, but I wouldn't call Riedel a great expert on lyrics. If a good lyricist said the lyrics weren't up to par, it'd be another story.
B3TA07, I know you want to pounce on me and say "Well don't say he's wrong if you weren't there", but please don't. It's Michael Riedel we're talking about- the man who thought Christina Applegate would win a Tony over Victoria Clark.

I would ta Shuler Hensly for Shrek.
i think he'd be a good cast.
Nathan Lane and Matthew Brodrik i don't think could pull it off. granted they are musicals geniuses but idk about Shrek

Posted: 2/17/08 at 9:23amMatthew Broderick as the Donkey? Shoot me now. The man is the human equivalent to petrified wood. Hardly a musical genius. He's worse in movies.

Cast search isn't OGRE? *pukes* Worst headline ever. Well not quite. My sister made up a joke the other day- What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A stick!
The Shrek one is almost as bad.
As for the talent search, my vote is for Shuler Hensley.

"it's Ben Crawford"
Ben doesn't know what he will be in the show but he is a part of it (since Saturday when I got an e-mail from him). I have heard he maybe understudying Shrek or Farquaad though.
