Shrek: The Musical

From the beginning, I felt like I fell into a fairy tale. From the effervescent curtain to the magical set to the lighting to the costumes, the colors and characters all combined to bring this cartoon world to life like I have never seen done onstage before. Shrek, Fiona, the Donkey, and even the Dragon were simply unbelievable. The sunsets and sunrises were spectacular, walking through the fiery bridge was impressive, traveling through the forest was enchanting, and the other special effects all added up to create the Perfect Fairy Tale. All characters were played to a T, including the other fairy tale characters. (I want the Wicked Witch's dress!) Children were riveted. Adults will enjoy the jokes that are just a bit over their children's heads. Avid theater-goers will immensely enjoy all the references to other shows. From my favorite "Wicked" to "Lion King" to "Dream Girls" how many other references can you find? Fun for all! Don't miss it. Details found at http://www.texasperformingarts.org/season/shrek
