anyone keen on Shrek the Musical? The trailer looks bloody awful. Like that awful Lord of the Rings musical, terribly debasing the parent material. Perhaps I'm wrong on about it.

I think i need to resist that part of me that wants to see a new Shrek.

I don't know, I am fighting with myself right now. Loved the films. Where can the trailer be found?

I actually went to see Shrek 2 weeks ago and it was disappointing.

The sets and stage production are brilliant but the singing and acting were quite poor, tbh.

Amanda Holden was bloody annoying and Richard Blackwood was pretty lame as Donkey.

I don't think that's a trailer of the UK production, they look nothing like Nigel Harman and Amanda Holden.

thats true.


i am tempted though. its shrek after all, and £15, i think KI've spent that much on the movies so its justifiable to spend it again on the last ever shrek thing.

Yep it's pretty faithful to the first film with some pop culture references thrown in.

The best performance by far is Lord Farquaad.
