I am very curious how this show will be done. I could see it being brilliant design wise. I am imagining how the makeup set and costume will be done. It could really be awesome. Unless of course they make it super complicated like little mermaid which looked more like an art gallery. Your thoughts?

They were very careful about not giving a single thing away at the recent audience preview in Seattle. Even Chris Sieber got a nasty look from Jason Moore when he started to explain his costume as "a contraption."

Fiona wears a green tshirt (a la Flounder) and Shrek ears when she is an ogre. During the transformation, the shirt unfolds (a la Effie White) into a full-on Princess Fiona dress!





Just kidding

I wouldn't be surprised if they used magnets for Sutton a la LBB in Omigod you guys.

The book has been rewritten and now Fiona does not transform. They are borrowing this idea from The Little Mermaid.

I hope that's not true Tag.

I love me some Brian D'arcy James and think he's brilliant, but I just don't see how this is going to turn out well for him. I Just think he's gonna look a hot mess. But at least he'll sound good.

SPOILER...for those 1.5 of you who haven't seen the film...

I may be the only one who thinks this...but I felt the film Shrek suddenly cheapened when Fiona turned out to be an ogre as well. It's means so much more when they loved each other as they were.

So if the new changes are in effect it'll throw a nice twist in. :)

I'm wondering how they are going to do the transformation, I imagine they will use a double or something.

Maybe they'll do some trick like the Beast transformation from Beauty and the Beast.

Magnets were not created by the costumer from Legally Blonde. And besides, Foster used them before in Drowsy...

I do not know about the transformation but I know that Chris Sieber will vbe on his knees as Lord Faarquad. He told me that the costume is built up to his knees and he has thick knee pads he will were throughout the show.

I just love how after Wicked, anything with a green character has to be on Bway.

As if the only thing keeping Shrek and Young Frankenstein was broadway's prejudice against green people.

NO WAY!

He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.

I don't think that shh282 was crediting the designer from LB with the creation of magnets in costumes, no need to attack, they were just offering an example.

I heard somewhere that the idea for the set design was trees that grow leaves as the show moves along and sets that are never stagnant.

My question is, will Brian d'Arcy James have that moustache I've seen in pictures the last few months, or is he going to shave that off? (Because on a purely superficial level, I am not a fan.)

^ Heh, I'm pretty sure I saw that it was shaved off in those [tos] first preview pics. Thank the lord!
