Lukas Poost becomes SHREK backstage at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit

Broadway In Detroit went backstage a the Fisher Theatre to capture the transformation of Lukas Poost into SHREK for SHREK THE MUSICAL. The artists working on Lukas had an Ipod loaded with Broadway music playing, so in addition to watching Shrek transform, you'll also hear a variety of Broadway hits...

his laugh towards the end there sounds EXACTLY like Shrek's laugh!! You can obviously tell he is already getting into character once the makeup process starts.

I don't know why, but I do this as well, I don't listen to the show I'm in while getting ready, I'll put my musical playlist on shuffle and skip the songs from the show I'm in. I mean, I already know I know my stuff... if I feel unsure, then I shouldn't be doing the show at all.
