MY REVIEW:
I wasn't sure what to expect with this, I'm not too fond of musicals but when I sat down to watch this with Little Miss B this morning I was in shock. I cannot get over how well done this musical is. How fantastic these actors did portraying the characters. I mean, I really didn't believe that it would be this good. I didn't see how it was possible to convey the greatness of Shrek the cartoons onto a live stage, but these actors did a fantastic job. I am impressed.
The singing was great, the dancing was great. My kids all loved it when they watched it the other day, but sometimes kids are just like that. I honestly believe this is a great musical. Not that I've seen many, but I have seen a few and I think I'm going to need to check out some more. I may have just found a new passion for the live arts that I didn't know I had. I'm so excited to share this movie experience with others. It truly is a fantastic show.
If you're a fan of musicals you may want to go out and grab this one. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
I give this 7 out of 10 thumbs up!!
