Happily Ever after with Shrek Continues in Broadway

14th January 2011 | Category: Theater

There are a lot of people who believe in the concept of ever after. But most of the fairy tales that are shown in movies always display the damsel in distress and the charismatic prince falling in love with each other, battling one great obstacle and then living happily ever after. However, this is not always the case in real life. The princess may be a middle aged maiden waiting for the love of her life and the prince may be a bankrupt broker. Things are more complicated and the concept of happily ever after seems so far away.

If you loved the Shrek movies, you will most definitely love to hear that it has finally been adapted into a Broadway musical. Now you favorite ogre who rescued the lovely princess Fiona will enchant you with his wits and appeal despite his ogre features. This is an example of the many masterpieces that have tried to deviate from the “good looking couple falling in love with each other stereotype in the movies”. Because of their unique offering, many loved the Shrek movies and now the fan-base has moved to the Broadway adaptation. It is expected that the thrill that accepted the movies will also be seen on the Broadway viewers.

Fun, cool and hip music will resonate as the play progresses and the stage setting is a breathtaking view. The cast have also mastered spontaneous laughter and coordination, albeit their adlibs, which makes everything flow smoothly. This is a perfect production that tells the tale that many have fallen in love with. If you get your Shrek tickets now, you will understand how a beautiful princess can fall for the ogre who has a good character and wits despite less than average human features. Looks are not the only measure of quality, so they say, and Shrek is the best example of this.
