I really am hating that logo.

Other than that, I'm moderately excited.

I like the idea of the logo, but it's a little hard to read. I'm more curious to see what approach they're going to take. A more literal adaption (a la Beauty and the Beast) or something more artsy?

I agree, it's a little hard to read the logo only because my eyes go right to "musical" instead of "shrek"

This sounds like it could be awesome! I'm excited it's previewing here in Seattle...That would be awesome if Sutton was Fiona, mainly because I didn't get to meet her when Young Frankenstein was here...

I think Foster will make a perfect Fiona. Nice to see her reunited with Tesori.
Tesori is a genius (and deserved a Tony for CAROLINE OR CHANGE, not to mention a Pulitzer and a Nobel prize for...being a genius, period), I can imagine her doing anything but brilliant work with this musical.

It's going into the Broadway Theatre.

And where was it announced that it was going into the Broadway theatre?

[Fosse76]

Posted: 1/18/08 at 1:37pm

It hasn't officially been announced yet.

What's happening to Color Purple? Will it close by late summer/fall? move? I thought they were doing decent business.

TCP is not doing so hot anymore. It seems that Fantasia was a "box office smash". she brought the producers a lot of money. Chanka and BeBe aren't doing that so far. I bet TCP will close by September.

SHREK MUSICAL????????
Why?
Shrek isn't a musical movie, it's stupid.....
I love (a bit) Shrek 1, but Shrek 2 is worst and Shrek 3 is horrible

[Dolly_Levi]

Posted: 1/19/08 at 2:32pm

Well, then rejoice emmadny b/c the SHREK musical is based on the first movie (as well as the orig children's book).

[emmadny]

Posted: 1/19/08 at 2:36pm

But Shrek isn't a musical film, it's very different than Disney classics

Dreamworks ever copy Disney...........................

[TWSFan4Ever]

Posted: 1/19/08 at 2:39pm

"Legally Blonde" wasn't a musical film, either...

[emmadny]

Posted: 1/19/08 at 2:42pm

And don't like this musical in fact....

Seriusly, I want musicals, not film with pop-songs and no more.......
Broadway is for musicals........

[TWSFan4Ever]

Posted: 1/19/08 at 2:57pm

That's why they write songs for the musical versions. It's not like they just take the film's soundtrack and throw it on stage with the characters singing it.

[emmadny]

Posted: 1/19/08 at 3:01pm

Shrek, donkey and Fiona singing........
It's ridiculous...........................

[emmadny]

Posted: 1/19/08 at 3:02pm

And the logo is ugly, very ugly.....

[jacobsnchz14]

Posted: 1/19/08 at 3:17pm

It might not even be official.
