No pictures of Donkey?
I like the production design, Sutton looks beautiful as Fiona, and Sieber's costume is pretty great as well.

I like the picture, but on the site why is Shrek yellow?

Shrek is going to be so awesome. It really looks excellent.

Wow...it looks almost EXACTLY like the film! I hope the original animators get some design credit?

Sutton looks completely natural as Fiona

I'm loving Chris Sieber's costume haha

Seeing how well the black masking works on Sieber's costume, I wish they had done that for the mermaid legs in TLM. It would have helped the eye follow the body-line to the tail so much better than the "high-art" concept they ultimately went with.

I know Shrek isn't aimed at someone my age, but I'm always a little wary when a movie translation is so literal.

I really enjoy Christopher Sieber so I am really looking forward to Shrek! His costume looks great.

The Farquad costume is AWESOME!

I think Sutton would look much better as a brunette rather than a redhead. But it looks like I'm the only one that thinks this, so... : ]

I'm also loving Sieber's costume!

Obviously, I too love Sieber's costume. And I'm so happy to see what they've done with Sutton. She looks remarkably like her animated counterpart.

I also think what they did Sieber's costume was brilliant. It really does make you look twice at where his legs really are, it looks great.

And Sutton is so so cute, but she always is.

I want to see pics of John as Pinocchio!

NGD, I believe that Shrek's slightly more yellow in the picture so he will stand out from the green backdrop

But with Farquaad's costumes, do the fake legs move well? I imagine he could make them walk decently enough, but one of those pictures seriously looked like it was the middle of a tap, and they looked static as all hell...

I wonder how long Chris will be able to play the role... I bet it has to be hard on his knees.

I'm guessing he has kneepads.

Am I the only one who thinks that costume looks terrible on Sutton Foster?

I mean, the girl is gorgeous, but I'm really not digging the way this costume fits her...

Thank god they changed the artwork after all this time

The pictures look great. Sutton looks very beautiful!

Even though it is a carbon copy from the movie, I also love the Gingy puppet!

[notyourmomma]

Posted: 9/6/08 at 2:10pm

Gingy later on ("Freak Flag") is HILARIUS. I love Haven Burton.


Also does anyone have/know of a compiled list with all the changes that have happened to the show so far?
