I read somewhere that they filmed the show before it closed on Broadway. Are there any plans to show it on TV or release it on DVD?

It aired on PBS last Wednesday in South Florida. They were offering the DVD on their pledge drive.

I picked up the DVD/CD combo. Anything for PBS. Supported by viewers like me.

is there anyway to get the filmed version of Shrek on Broadway, without buying the d.v.d.? I live in Scotland and can't exactly pick it up from the theatres, and don't have PBS on my TV.
any information or links to download would be appreciated, on the highest level! haha thanks!

Why is there such a craving for mediocrity in today's world?

I'm with Dolly. Shrek and Legally Blonde get immortalized and Grey Gardens does not. Ugh!!!!

Grey Gardens was turned into a movie... but, I do agree.
Although, I do love me some Legally Blonde.

Lol, the HBO film was not based on the musical.

Kids will bug their parents silly for Shrek whereas Patti's Rose may scare small children. That said it is a tragedy that more QUALITY productions are available. I would love to have a copy of Ragtime or Finian's Rainbow or Parade or Assassins...or well I could be here all night.

GREY GARDENS, the stage musicals, was based on a movie. The new GREY GARDENS film by HBO is NOT the musical. So no, GREY GARDENS (the musical) is not "immortalized."
I'm aware that SHREK was filmed for a DVD release, but I was not aware that the DVD is available for purchase!? Did I miss the release?? I don't see how...

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

^ I believe they are being sarcastic
I still think we'll see some sort of combo release package when Shrek Forever After arrives on DVD.

So apparently it's on Pay-Per-View/On Demand at certain hotels in New York?
A friend just texted me a few months ago and said she saw it on her hotel TV...

It's not on DVD, it's not PPV. Do you really think the Shrek producers would do this on the down low?

Any chance they'll have it out by November with the release of Shrek the fourth?

I would love to see this on DVD. I saw the show on Broadway and even though it is far from perfect it is a lot of fun and the sets and special effects were pretty awesome.

"Ashford told me recently that he and his associates have re-staged a lot of numbers and he has worked closely with Moore on making audiences care more about the title character.
‘I think you’ll be happily surprised,’ he said. a filmed version of the Broadway show was screened to theatrical agents in London and scores of actors have been seen for the four main roles of Shrek, Princess Fiona, Lord Farquaad and Donkey."

If they're restaging numbers and making changes now, it seems odd that they'd release a DVD of the original production.
Of course, it seemed odd in the first place.
I'd be surprised if it really sees a mass-market release.

It makes me wonder if they really are because they haven't even announced DVD/Blu release date for Shrek Forever After...
