Everyone's favorite ogre IN A MUSICAL

I was looking around Broadway.com once last year for theater news when I came across an article about the auditions for Shrek: the Musical. I had to wait at least a year to finally receive news from the show. I read that the cast would include Brian D'Arcy James as Shrek, Sutton Foster as Princess Fiona and much more.

Around two months ago, I found leaked songs from the show on Youtube. Here's one of them. It's called "I Know It's Today". In this song, young, teenage and adult Fiona are counting the days until they are rescued from their tower by their Prince Charming.



I also saw a video "behind the scenes" of the production which started previews in Seattle last month. I really like the Gingerbread Man (played by Haven Burton) puppet and the Three Blind Mice.



Lastly, I found a picture of the set. It looks amazing yet reminiscent of the flop musical, Tarzan.




Well that's all for now. The show looks great and seems very hilarious.
