THE GREAT GREEN WAY Shrek's Coming... - ny post

Gothampc(shriek): Give my regards to Broadway because I'm going to the movies.

In my opnion, there are way too many movies they are planning to bring to the stage. Catch Me if You Can sounds like a great idea, but I think they're over-doing a little bit too much. They should be writing more original musicals. Where are all those writers out there? All we have are revivals and musicals based on movies or books. We need something just for the theater. There are only a few shows on Broadway right now that are completely written for Broadway. Urinetown, Rent, there was Frog and Toad, and than there's Zanna Don't off Broadway, which is original I believe.

I can't quite envision Shrek as a live show either... I'd really like to hear a Broadway company singing "I'm a Believer" though! (love that song) if they kept it in. They also have quite the casting voices challenge to live up to, but we'll see who they get if it all comes to fruition.
