What's on the screen? : Shrek The Musical

Sometimes something sounds so peculiar you can't help but want to see what they did. There's so man movies and books out there that companies try to turn into musicals because of their popularity. Not all of the results are memorable. In fact many of them don't make it past the starting gate. In this case we're looking at one that many would think to be improbable.

This is an AMAZING musical. I wasn't expecting it to turn out the way that it did. And if you don't want a spoiler...well.. don't watch the movie Shrek first. They did an amazing job conveying the most memorable scenes and statements from the animated film into the musical. The costuming and set design is both creative and intriguing without being over the top. And come on, who doesn't like an ogre now and then?

In regards to the video clip; I think that it is the best song in the WHOLE musical. But that's because I like the message that it conveys. So definitely give it a  chance if you get the time. It's a kid friendly musical, even though some of the content is a bit questionable. But if you have seen the cartoon already you should be expecting that. Besides, it's got so many enjoyable layers you won't be able to stop with watching it just once.
