Shrek: The Musical

Those people that complained it wasn't like the movie have apparently never been to a Broadway show that a movie was adapted from. It is hardly ever the same. I actually like this version better than the movie and I like the movie. They went into the past more and to me that made the story make more sense.

Sound of Music stage production- different than the movie

Grease stage production (original) - different than the movie

Frozen stage production- different than the movie and in a different order

Shall I go on? Take a hint nay sayers - this is the exact reason I ignore the reviews - I like to make up my in mind and think for myself!

Great musical for kids and adults (the inskde jokes are fantastic), the costumes, set design and absolutely love the songs, thet really stuck in my head for days. I have seen this couple of times and now found in Netflix again and its really fun, cheerful musical to cheer you up. It is sending great message of not fitting in and being different. Also great to notice small details they put in you don't notice on first watch.

Already cult animated film by DreamWorks company and, in my opinion, one of the best cartoons of all time, "Shrek", has been adapted into a Broadway musical. I do not need to comment on the story itself, because it is almost the same as in the original, with the addition of pretty good music and dance numbers. While the cartoon from 2001 was designed as a witty and amusing parody of the Disney Princesses, the musical version also parodies some famous musicals. The acting is good, some of the performers really have great voices, and the atmosphere of the entire show is casual and cheerful. Even if you are not a fan of musicals, if you liked the cartoon you'll probably enjoy this adaptation too. It made my day.

8/10

This is a really cool musical! The songs are solid and the stage design is great. Fun for the whole family!

This is a musical I didn't think I would enjoy but it pretty much follows the original film and has some great musical numbers. This is a filmed version of the Broadway production. I'm not a big musical fan but this is quite enjoyable and there are tap dancing numbers (which makes every show better). This is probably mostly for Shrek and "fun" musical fans as it is based on an animated film. This is also a great musical for children and the whole family and doesn't loose its edge just because it's a staged production. I'm not always a fan of the filmed version of a staged musical production but I think this is one that does a great job with the production.
