I doubt anyone will be dubbed with the exception of Chris Sieber. He was sick & not of best voice for the filming.

Also, the reason the dubbing is so bad on the clips is because they used the CR to do it.

Well I knew about the cast recording being used in the b-roll, but even still, his voice being dubbed will totally kill the magic for me, ya know?
Man I really need to pre-order this now.
Do you think it'll come out before the holidays? I mean the show's closing after then, but it would make a sh*tload from the theater community then.

"Do you think the cinematography will be something like RENT's or more like Sweeney Todd's?"

I'm not sure what you mean by this..and by Sweeney Todd are you referring to the 1982 DVD?

There is no way Shrek will be as poorly filmed as Sweeney Todd was...that was almost 30 years ago.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Well when I mentioned Fugobi, that's when I thought it might be in theaters. I hope to god the DVD isn't in 3D... I bought Coraline looking forward to watching it in 3D because I loved it in the theater and it was awful on a smaller screen.

You know people say this may hurt the tour, but look at Legally Blonde, they aired that on television, which I am sure someone had taped it, The tour is just entering its second year after quite a successful run this past year. I think the DVD may spark interest for people to see it actually LIVE onstage.

The DVD won't hurt the tour, kids won't care- they'll want to see it when it comes to their town AND get the DVD at the end. They're going to make a profit of this.

DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg added: "We filmed the show about 10 days or so ago. And at some point to be determined, we will release it as a DVD. We think there'll be some nice profits."

Wondering what's "Some point to be determinded"...

As TaleofTwo stated a few post down, This wont hurt tour sales at all.

You will see the parents in the lobby asking kids what they want (CD/T SHIRT/DVD) all even before they saw the show.

Going to shows as much as I do I ALWAYS see the familys buying cast recordings, shirts, etc and they didnt even see the show yet.



just throwing this out there. I really really hope Shrek the Musical will get a Blu ray Release as well. High Definition would do the set, costumes, songs, So much justice.
