I would point out that the Shrek backstory does not, in fact, come completely out of nowhere. Everyone tends to forget this, but the franchise is actually loosely (very, very loosely) based on a book by William Steig - which begins with Shrek's parents kicking him out. So that detail was probably added to the musical as a nod to the original source material.
Psycopathicus I will also add that Shrek's past has being talked about in the franchise e.g. When he talks about how much of a shitty dad he had with Arthur in the third movie (sure it's not great, but it does feel genuine!)
Thank you for saying this.
Okay.
Unless I"m mistaken didn't William Steig also draft the movie? Could have sworn he had some involvement. Either way, I think the movie worked better without the backstory. Allowed it to come out in snips and pieces naturally over the course of the franchise. Just felt more organic and real than if it was all dumped on us in the opening.
And yes, I read the book. My school had a copy with a big sticker on it promoting the movie.
I think the movie was right to cut it
I still can't believe that the musical cut the whole Robin Hood sequence.
It just boggles my mind that they cut it out.
@@mixwidman5458 I know right? It was literally a musical number in the first movie. This is a musical version of the first movie. SO WHERE IS IT? Hell can go a bit meta by having Robin Hood lament how he used to be the only musical number around. Or go all hipster and brag how he was first.
@@SuperSwordman1 But it wasn't the only musical number in the movie. There was also the DuLoc song.
@@rjd-kh8et Oh yeah, forgot about that.
They cut it because the Fiona in the musical would not have been able to fight off bandits single handedly. She's much more damaged and fragile (physically and emotionally) from being locked in a tower her whole life than she was in the movie.
Yup Shrek the musical it's kinda of a guilty pleasure, don't get me wrong it has its flaws, but it does have talent and heart‼️😶😆
Hopefully, Dreamworks has better luck making The Prince of Egypt as a staged musical‼️
I think so
Thats exactly how I feel
No guilt here. It's fucking awesome.
I really like this show, the music is great, and who doesn’t love Brian Darcy James, Daniel Breaker, and Sutton Foster?!
I like that the actor who plays Donkey is now playing Aaron Burr in Hamilton on Broadway. He is also arguably the best Aaron Burr, topping Leslie Odom Jr.
I didn't know about that, that's pretty cool to hear!
Mackensie Rinas That's awesome!!
Oh thank god I was worried that WAS Leslie Odom.
I saw Daniel Breaker in Hamilton. He was AMAZING.
@@MissNightmareReviews You should do another collab. Maybe the other way around. You end up in Hell, summoned by Diva to help.
Chibi Diva is now one of my new favorite things.
TWK Reviews I second this.
lol
Chiva
Am I the only one here who wholeheartedly enjoyed this musical and still love it without any repercussions?
Which is nothing wrong with that, if you enjoy the musical I respect your opinion on it. :)
And I respect yours as well! I just get sad when people hate on this show
Understandable.
Miss Nightmare Reviews is this the official channel.
Yes. this is my official YT channel.
I don’t think Shrek the Musical fundamentally understands what made the movie work. The movie was a parody of Disney films, with pop songs, pop culture references, and adult jokes. It came out at the right place at the right time. The musical plays it way too straight and tries to be like a Disney musical instead of lampooning one like the movie did.
I think the literary character get added in because they're public domain.
Another very good reason!
Technically it wouldn’t matter since they are being used for satire, which makes them fair game.
This play could have worked if Shrek was played as 100% the straight man and never sang like he was in the movie. What made Shek a fun character was despite not being particularly funny, the way he reacted to everything and everyone was funny. He was an ordinary man in an extraordinary world. That’s what made him relatable. This play would have been fun if he kept being confused as to why everyone kept bursting in a song when talking normally would be quicker and easier. Maybe even take a jab at Dinsey plays like the movie did with fairy tales.
Another thing about John Tartaglia you may not know: he was 16 when he first performed any puppets on _Sesame Street_ starting then in 1994.
Did you say Sutton Foster was A BIT better than her movie counterpart? A BIT?!?!?!?! That’s SUCH an understatement!
AGREED! I'm glad she was a Saving Grace in this review. I'd have to click away if they hated her
@@quinintheclouds Sorry, but Cameron Diaz was better in the movie.
Pinocchio is also a literature character, it kinda bugs me when people label it a fairy tale.
It's kinda like calling The Wizard of Oz a fairy tale... no, that's just wrong... It's a fucking novel written by Carlo Collodi, not a bedtime story.
DeepEye1994 Absolutely agree with this!
Or Alice in Wonderland.
Neither is Robin Hood, the story of King Arthur, or The Nutcracker.
My school did Shrek the Musical for our Spring 2018 musical... And we all came to the theory that Geppeto died in the whale saving Pinocchio instead of the fairy tale ending canonically.
4:05 That happened in the Original Shrek children's book. I read the original book the film was based on before the film was ever even announced.
This musical is just - a whole lot of why.
Not only is the franchise that spawned it coming out with a fifth movie, but by this point the entire spite-filled reason the franchise exists is completely destroyed by putting traditional musical numbers here. Not only that, but, like, I totally agree with the whole "Oh, God, they're singing, Marge! why aren't they killing each other?!" kind of self-referential humor got old after even Disney tried to do it with Frozen.
Two musical reviewers team up to take down a musical train wreck?! I'm in!
The best thing ever about this show is that Brian D'Arcy James originated Dan in Next to Normal Off-Broadway. They offered him the role when the show transferred to Broadway, but he turned it down to play Shrek.
... That's just sad...
But the man who was Dan in the Broadway run did a good job as well.
Didn't he also become the Dad in Thirteen Reasons Why?‼️
He did!
Gillian Quigley i love that show which dad did he play?
Hannah Baker's dad
I went to see Shrek when it went on Tour in the UK in 2015. It was honestly fantastic. Sticks more closer to the movie (especially the opening). Plus in "I know it's today" they did an amazing trick to show Fiona ageing. They got vines out from the stage to come slide between the castle, when they meet in the middle (where fiona would be) and BOOM she an older fiona like WOW
They could have worked in Shrek hating songs by having him refuse to sing for most of the musical right up until the end where he pours out his feelings for Fiona. Maybe?
You got that right !
How much would this musical be improved if we had a pop/rock band of fairy tale characters performing most of the songs? Also, Farquaad could get a musical number or two because Duloc is based on Disney so he'd probably love giving musical numbers.
Fun fact: In the Mexican version of the Musical, Shrek is portrayed by non other than the legendary Mexican voice actor, Mario Filio, who does the voice of the Magic Mirror in the Latin Spanish dub of all of the movies and shorts from the franchise
That's a neat fact!
A magical girl who reviews musicals? How did I not know about this channel before? That sounds like the best thing ever!
Not just musicals, I also review other things that were a part of my life and see if they still hold up today. I have a lot in store for season 2. ;)
Miss Nightmare Reviews I can't wait to see more of them!
Miss Nightmare Reviews hey are you a fan of Monster High still with the new one?
I'm still of the original, very mixed with the reboot.
@@MissNightmareReviews Do you take review requests?
Interesting fact, have either of you noticed that Mama Bear wasn't with Papa Bear and Little Bear (be it in the musical an the original)? That's because Farquad turned Mama Bear into a bear skin rug, you can actually see it in the movie (that is if they hadn't yet cut that out of the later releases).
some-BODY ONCE TOLD ME
Congrats! You're the first person to make this reference in the comments. ^-^
THE WORLD WAS GONNA ROLE ME
And the second person! I'm surprised at how well everyone has held it together to make this reference.
HANDS OFF MY MACARONI
Is it weird that I half expected Shrek to burst out of the outhouse to a fully orchestrated version of All Star in this show?
Oh, hey, how did I miss this one, and it even has a super cute Diva! When I first saw this on a bad movie night, I was really struck by the grudging respect and amusement I felt. It's one of those things that's a terrible idea, and Should Not Be, but it's put together with good talent and a lot of effort, so it's probably as good as such a thing could possibly be, to the point that you don't even want to call it "bad" per se (See also: Tom and Jerry: Back to Oz)
11:35 Who else was expecting the “other It’s A Small World parody” to be the introductory song for Wonka from Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
“Wonderland characters aren’t fairy tale characters!”
THANK YOU.
Completely random note, but yay Beauty and the Beast magic mirror!
Kitty Grimm And a Card Captor Sakura reference on top of that too!
I do have to admit that while I was into Shrek at the time everyone else was, I cannot look back on it very kindly. Much of that has to with with:
A) The original was born out of Jeffery Katzenbenburg's spite toward Michael Eisner and was set to tear down Disney's corportation to steal their success (yes, that in turn in why non-fairy tale characters like Pinocchio and Peter Pan appear in it.)
B) The movie's had a bad influence on animated feautres in years to come, that would try to pull the "pop-culture/lowest common denominator shtick", AND it was a contributor to film executives thinking that 2D animation is dead.
and C) There are several other fairytale-spoof style sources of entertainment that I find much more enjoyable, not to mention timeless. ('Into the Woods', anyone?)
Yeah, with this franchise long overstaying its welcome as a fifth film is in the making, and fewer people looking back kindly on it as time passes on, this franchise and everything it spawned just irritates me- although, I do have to agree on some of the effects and songs (namely Fiona's).
Jacob Below But the sequel was good. Come to think of it, the plot of that movie would have worked better as a musical than the first one.
I could conceive that. Sure.
I still enjoy the movie and think of it fondly, in fact I do with all the films in the series, even though I do admit that the third one was a bit of a stumble. To me, saying that "the references are dated" is not an automatic disqualifier. After all, using that to its extreme, one can say that you can't enjoy the world of Alien because the initial 1979 version of the future and usage of VHS-quality video is horribly outdated now, or that Escape From New York can't be enjoyed because it's vision of 1997 didn't come to pass. But I definitely agree that Shrek did become a curse in the fact that many inferior products blatantly pandering to crass and juvenile humor came out of the woodwork. Because of that legacy, it is the main reason for Shrek getting a lot of undeserved blowback, while the latter Disney Renaissance films got a very well-deserved critical reappraisal. After all, I always knew Treasure Planet was a great film that deserved to be considered a masterpiece, and it's a shame it was profoundly rejected initially. And yes, it is clear to see that a lot of the jokes, clever as many of them are, are indeed born out of vitriol towards Michael Eisner, as well as John Lasseter, because Katzenberg never forgave either for reworking his ideas for Toy Story or for doing A Bug's Life instead of Antz. But of course, there is the fact that Eisner was a creative wunderkind, but a horrible administrator, who could've easily led to Disney's being considered completely irrelevant. I'm glad that Disney is synonymous with quality again, and I've even grown quite comfortable and excited with the remakes direction. And yet, with all of this, I can still enjoy Shrek and the sequel films just as uproariously as I did when I was young.
Jacob Below I guess you have a good point
Also, the Shrek films aren't good with continuity either. (And they labeled Cinderella as a princess that Lord Farquad could marry to become king, but Cinderella only became a princess because she married a prince! It made zero sense.)
Great to see you in another collaboration, Diva! I want a plushie of your chibi form!
6:04 It's like how you compare it to Once Upon A Time, where the show focus on the Disney versions along with characters from classic literature. The writers and producers of this show can't write a good story.
Plus it helps that the folks at Once Upon a Time had the good sense to rope off as at where the straight classic lit (and Autherian legend) into their own worlds
@@gennybaratta2460What really aggravates me is that butcher the story of King Arthur by making him the villain of the first arc.
......... While I do like the idea of these two teaming up....... I actually really like Shrek the Musical. At least this production of it. The cast is terrific, the music is perfectly fine for a Broadway show of it's era, and the dancing is great, not to mention the effects. A classic it may not be, but an enjoyable piece of Theatre, it most certainly is. But obviously, enjoyability is entirely your own opinion :)
Love you two, see you in the next episode!
Thank you, and nothing wrong if you enjoy the musical. I respect your opinion and I hope you have a good day!
From the animated movie from the studio that began their CGI output with a blatant attempted-thunder-stealing of a Disney/Pixar movie.
No,we should *never* let them forget that.
"Pick your poison: wand, sword, or gun." I pick wand. Since it wasn't specified how I use any of them, I can use the wand to cast some amnesia spells on anyone who wants to forget the more painful parts of the musical.
They should have made Fiona being revealed as an ogre too early a sin in this musical.
What would be interesting is if When Words Fail was Shrek's only song he sang. Referring to how Diva said that Shrek is not the musical person, wouldn't it make sense for Shrek, having realized he is in love with Fiona, finally gives into musicaldom and sings a sappy love song. Or better yet, at the reprise would be better.
I really loved Farquad in this! Plus, Sutton Foster is AMAZING whenever she's on screen.
Shrek the Musical is a genuinely good show, you've got an amazing cast, incredible music and amazing costumes. Sutton Foster, Brian D'Arcy James, and Christopher Sieber. Like it's no Hamilton but it is very well done.
Okay, but what about the story?
@@kichiwas-hargan4775 girl this comment is three years old. The story is obviously flawed but let me say nice things
@@alohaisland9999 Sure, go for it.
You know, it's funny how you mention the songs in the second act don't impact the story, and only act as filler. Because it's true. The one musical I can think of that used Act II songs properly was the lion king. "The Madness of King Scar" and "Shadowland" expanded both Scar's role and Nala's in the story, and "Endless Night" and the scene where Timon almost dies in a waterfall show that Simba hasn't 100% gotten over his father's death. Here, it's just sing for no reason other than it's a musical.
Considering your avatar I'm sure you're not biased at all lol.
Sure, let's put Shrek's live Broadway show on DVD for the world to see instead of
Dear Evan Hansen
Hamilton
Heathers
Be More Chill
Les Miserables
The Book Of Mormon
Spongebob The Musical
Cats
The Phantom Of The Opera
and HUNDREDS of way better musicals that deserve a DVD release.
Martin Hodges exactly, yeah! Especially The Lion King! That was made for a DVD release! But, no. They decide that this mediocrity should be on DVD.
Thomas Huffman It’s all about the money. Shrek has some good songs in it and is also a well known brand. Should we do a review of the Cats movie so people can say how bad it is and doesn’t make sense because it doesn’t have a plot?
BMC didn’t even last on Broadway.
Hamilton has a pro shot, so they should be doing a DVD.
Of the shows you listed this would be better than half of them.
Spongebob has a pro shot so should be available on DVD at some point, what it doesn’t have is any really memorable songs. It was pretty blah compared to Shrek the musical.
Bootleg Hamilton? If that's all one needs.. I SUMMON THEE
Diva looks adorable in this review.
7:06 I think something that have helped the musical is if Sherk only sang three times those being who I’d been (because Donkey talked him into it), words fail (because he’s confused about his feelings) and Big bright beautiful world reprise (as a bit of a grand romantic gesture to Fiona)
I know this is an old video, but you know “The Adventures of Pinocchio” is also not a fairy tale, but an Italian children’s novel?
It literally has a fairy in it though.
I originally saw this on Netflix, I was maybe 12 at the time and I couldn't get through the first five minutes because I thought it was cringey, but I gave it another chance a year later, and I thought it was okay. I like some of the leading performers, the costumes were pretty good, and I like some of the songs. I do agree with your points against this musical, it's hard to turn something like this into a musical to begin with, but I give the creators props for trying. I still enjoy it mildly.
Chibi Diva is adorable 😍
I know, right? Who knew that Demons can be so cute?
SOME OF THE SONGS STAYED STUCK IN MY HEAD. AND I WASN'T JUST WATCHING THE MUSICAL. I WAS WORKING BACKSTAGE HELPING WITH THE COSTUME QUICK CHANGES!!!!! AND THIS WAS A CAST OF 150 SIXTH AND FIFTH GRADERS!!! EVEN WORSE!!!
This musical has a soft spot in my heart since it was the second musical I worked on in Junior High, which was where I made many friends and my niche in school with Stage Crew. I was assigned to the sound equipment, and had no to listen to and accidentally memorize all the songs in the Junior Version, so I was forced to get used to the strange soundtrack. The actors in the version I worked on somehow did a bit of adlibbing and portrayed the characters to make them likable and were AMAZING CHOICES for their roles! It’s amazing how a junior high with a budget of only $5,000 and nearly-broken sound, mic, and light systems managed to make the characters more likable than a broadway version.
That's a wonderful story, I'm glad you had a fun time during your production of the show. ^-^
I know shrek the musical is bad, but it’s still a guilty pleasure of mine
That's completely fine and I respect your opinion.
Miss Nightmare Reviews Thank you and love your content
I actually like this musical. The music is great, and I love John Tartaglia (who went to my high school 😉), Brian Darcy James, Sutton Foster, and ESPECIALLY Daniel Breaker.
Plus you get to let your freak flag fly.
To be fair, the original Duloc song had a version mentioning beheading. There was a Halloween segment where they go to Duloc and Shrek plays the song, which includes the lines "We will chop off your head and then laugh when you're dead". I can't believe I remember that, but whatever. Of course, after it plays, Shrek says "Let's do that again" and Donkey doesn't want to. Funny, when I watched the first movie (I got a free VHS at a giveaway. Every kid got a Shrek souvenir and the video was the biggest prize, so I got majorly lucky), I was that irritating kid who liked the song so much that I rewound the VHS whenever Donkey said "Let's do that again!"
I remember seeing the creepy version of the song as a clip from the Halloween special. I thought it was creepy and was a nice callback to the first film.
I'll admit to not having even listened to the soundtrack of Hamilton yet, (and let's be honest most people probably won't be seeing that expensive show in a LONG time).
But I noticed that intentional...wordplay at the end considering the phrase that is used when Hamilton was first advertised.
"Throwing away my (your)...shot!" :P
Y'know, if they had done something along the lines of The Guy Who Doesn't Like Musicals, where the protagonist only sings at the climax, this musical might have worked just a _little_ bit better.
I costumed this show in 2015 for a local high school. I honestly should've had an assistant because this was some WORK, to the extent that I couldn't finish all of it in time and the three pigs wound up looking terrible. The stupid dragon head was made from flimsy particle board and I had to remake the skeleton with pvc piping, as well as attach curtains so you couldn't see the handler's feet and Shrek wound up being allergic to his makeup. Sigh. That all aside, I did have fun with it at least. I gave Fiona's three ages three different dresses in three different shades of green, each deeper and richer than the last. I even managed to find three red wigs and a final form dress exactly the same emerald shade she wore in the film. But yeah, this isn't a great show and while I had fun with it, I acknowledge it's got issues. 😅
I actually enjoy the musical better than the movie
Oh, really?
@@kichiwas-hargan4775 Yes
@@h193013 Why?
I think it's a very nice musical, very well written. (I played Lord Farquaad in a local production).
That's pretty cool! And that's completely fine, everyone has their own opinion and I'm happy you enjoy the musical.
A thirty-minute Diva video is sure to make my day!
Great video! Chibi!Diva is adorable (those widdle hooves!) and this is whole review was fun, well-made, and informative. While I've never cared for this musical, my home town's junior theater company seems fond of it, so I think it might be an age issue as well. Kids often have a good time with the songs, and the adults are glad their kid is enjoying musicals while they wait for a number from A Chorus Line or RENT.
I think a crucial moment that I'm not sure if it was in the musical but I dont think you guys pointed out was when Fionna overhears Shrek the first night they camp. In the movie, Shrek tells Donkey that he's secluded himself to the swamp because the villagers saw him as just an ogre and don't give him a chance. The fact that he's an ogre leads people to believe that that's all that's to him. And of course, Fiona listens in on him and realizes that they have a lot more in common than she thought. He's been ridiculed for his appearance and I'm sure Fiona's parents and anyone else that managed to see weren't too thrilled when they saw Fiona's ogre form, especially considering how they reacted in the second movie, and was secluded like Shrek was because of it. It makes so much more sense for them to bond over that and maybe have Fiona's backstory only at the beginning instead of Shreks being the focus and hers in the background at the beginning and then have Fiona and Shrek bond over their abandonment issues and that they're both gross. The original is deeper and more personal and it was nice to see Fiona start to act kinder to Shrek and get to know him better and the audience knows that Shrek really isn't that bad of person anyway, he just feels like he's supposed to be alone and when he has what he thought he wanted, he's sad and upset cause he finally had the chance to talk with someone as an equal and have friends and people he cares about and that's gone, same with fiona when she's getting ready for Farquad's wedding. It would make more sense to have something to stand in for the montage that was in the movie like maybe have half the stage for the inside of Shrek's house and half Farquad's castle with fiona and have them ponder while they're in separate places until donkey comes along to see Shrek. Or maybe even have a short duet with them while they're in separate places lamenting on what happened and explaining each viewpoint better. It's more necessary than having the fairytale characters come back.
I actually like seeing the fairy tale characters come back and confronting Farquaad for his abuse and discrimination towards them. I also like they come to the conclusion that they don’t need Shrek to solve their problem and can stand up for themselves. It’s honestly better than just sitting on their butts back in Shrek’s swamp or just being submissive to the abusive of the ruler of their former home.
Like someone put it best in a reply to a similar comment I made on Schaffrillas’ “Shrek the Musical Is Hot Garbage”: “I’d rather die STANDING then die KNEELING!”
Well, I still love the musical. I'm not sorry
That's fine and I respect your opinion.
Wow I didn't know this channel existed I first thought this was the Musical Hell channel. It's nice to see Diva working with other CZcamsrs.
I’m sure this is just snark on your part, Diva, as I’ve seen many of your videos, but I should point out that Fiona staying as an ogre at the end isn’t just because she doesn’t have time to remove the makeup, it’s the crux of the whole story.
I think this is the first of your videos that I’ve disagreed with a lot of what you’ve said as I love this show, outdated aspects included. But I will say I still found this endlessly entertaining as a review. Plus this was one of the first roles I discovered the legend that is Brian d’Arcy James in, and I love that man’s voice!
Not all stories sing and Shrek certainly isn't one of them. Although there are good moments and Sutton Foster is divine and the other cast members give it their all, but there's so much padding and the musical robs Shrek of its simplicity by giving him a tragic backstory in the same manner that Ron Howard did to the Grinch in the 2000 movie.
I honestly still love the movie, which I think has picked up a backlash through the lens of the endless ripoffs and cash-ins it in no way can be held accountable for.
Also, great crossover! ^^
Shrek the musical is a guilty pleasure of mine. There’s a lot of talent and work that went into it and some of the songs slap. The actors are also giving it their absolute all and it shows
Same
While I agree with some of your points you seem to ignore any good points in the show which is rather frustrating especially when there is many good performances in the show
I'm personally love Shrek The Musical I think it's a good retelling of the movie and the songs are popping I sing "Who I'd be" and "When words fail" every single day and don't forget "Freak Flag"
0:46 Holy hell!! Diva is adorable!! XD
Chibi Diva!
Miss Nightmare quotes “what the hell” is amazing too
Ok but the ballad of farquaad is a work of art. It is the quintessential meme, and a damn catchy one at that. Noiiiice review, glad to see CHIBI diva here
Am I the only one who legitimately loves this musical?
That's fine, everyone is different in their own opinions of the musical and I respect yours in enjoying it.
Fans Were Hyped When Last Shrek Film Was Announced
I absolutely love this musical XD Yeah, it's silly, but it's fun, and the songs are amazing, and the singers pull them off incredibly! I do wish the full-bodied dragon puppet was used in the movie version, though. Its song and appearance was so much cooler, especially when it flies :3
I think that the main character being annoyed by people singing but give them a character arc this doesn't have that because he sings yet still annoyed by other characters singing
Officially subscribed now. I came because of Deva & thoroughly enjoyed this.
I just got cast as Sugar Plum Fairy and 1/3 Blind Mice
Congrats! I hope you have a fun time in the show. :)
How did it go?
Idk I really like it. I’m in running crew for my Community Theatre’s production of it. I love all of the songs and I do think some of the jokes are weird but the lighting, set, and costumes are so good oml.
Also the song Forever from the Tour on is so much better than Donkey Pot Pie
There are also some clever lines in songs I like: “this ass of mine is asinine”
I think I got you beat is honestky my favorite until the Burps and farts like LEAVE IT OUT OF THE SOUNDTRACK GODDAMMIT
I only have a soft spot for this musical because it was the first one I was ever in. My middle school did a junior production of it, and I have many fond memories.
When I first heard about this thing, my initial thought was "Who asked for this?"
No one, absolutely no one asked for a musical version of the thing that spits on musicals.
I remember when I was younger and visiting my grandma, we were gonna go see sheck the musical in her local theater that Night, and the guy who was playing donkey just happened to go to my grandma’s church, and so mid service they did this thing where they were praising him for playing the holy beast of burden in this local theater production .
OH WHAT THE HECK! I MUST CONFESS I LOVE A ROAD TRIP! (i'm so sorry that song is permanently etched into my mind you didnt finish the lyrics...)
There’s no reason a Shrek-based musical couldn’t work, but Shrek has a major handicap that the Disney musicals don’t have: it’s not based on a movie musical in the first place.
This is the first of your videos I've been exposed to and I dead-serious thought you and Calluna were the same person for a hot second xD
It's alright, thought Calluna & I have done a crossover together so I can prove we're not the same person. XD
Miss Nightmare I Subscribed because Diva was here. Afterwards I proceeded to watch your review of Flik's Musical Adventure because you referenced It's A Bugs World. 16:10 Now they've gone from referencing musicals you'd rather watch to showing something that reminds me of a song I'd rather listen to than this musical.
Making fun of this musical with my classmates last day of senior year is one of my most treasured high school memories
i Don't Consider Donkey's Shrektacular Christmas As Cannon That Should've Been A Donkey Spin Off
9:24 is probably the funniest thing i heard in this abomanation of a musical.
I mean Humpty Dumpty isn’t that much better than a Tweedle. He isn’t a fairy tale character either, he’s from an English nursery rhyme.
Act 3 of Musical would be included in part of the fairytale characters moving out to the swamp scene as it beginning part too
OMG she has a Clow Card!!!!!!! :O
I have more than just one Clow Card ;)
Miss Nightmare Reviews yay!!!!
@@MissNightmareReviews Can you create Card Clones, though?
Unfortunately not.
The worst sin is that they didn't pay Smash Mouth to use "All Star".
"Who I'd be" is the best song in my opinion! 👍
I just finished a 2 month run of Shrek and it was exhausting. I played six roles and was lucky enough to play Gingy and the Sugar Plum Fairy. I was not excited to play in the show because of the Netflix version BUT the book they hand out for Regional and community theaters are miles better!
Oh that's so cool!
Nice stuff right here👍
I’ve seen Shrek the Musical Junior and it is baaaaaaaaad XD and I saw the show at my old middle school.... it was VERY cringey. But the kids did do a good job with what they had... I sadly haven’t seen the actual Musical. Now I want to see Shrek The Musical for the lols
There is also a couple 42nd street references in morning person first is when the rats are tapping under the curtain and the second is the call and answer section
I was excited about this musical at first. Saw it live and...was disappointed. Do I think its the worst? No, but honestly I think the modern songs in the original movie fit the story/tone far better than these more typical Broadway tunes. Turning Shrek into a jukebox musical would have been better I think. The big compliment I can give (at least the live production I saw) was Farquad. The actor did an amazing job and I actually gave him a standing ovation.
I honestly think that this musical is at it’s best during the sincere moments. However there are very few of them. :c
