Shrek: The Musical

In a nutshell, when faced with an artistic decision, the producers and director decided to do both.

It was all a little overwhelming, especially on the Fifth Avenue's stage. I don't know where it will be in NYC, but the staging seemed a little cramped. There was no memorable song, but neither was there a real clunker. At 2:45, it was probably longer than I would want.

Of course, this is still in previews, so I'm guessing that it will change a bit before it goes to Broadway. I thought that Shrek has potential and just needs editing. I didn't think that way about Young Frankenstein
