BRAVO! Review by: abbie, May 10, 2011 |
| I'm 14, and I LOVED this. It's an amazing film, and they did a fantastic job on turning it into a play. Every character is hilarious and can be enjoyed by everyone. The songs are both funny and emotional and me and my parents loved every second of it! 5 stars, nick nack paddy wack give yourself a bone, you did it XD You made a loveable film into a loveable performance. Bravo! ^_^ |

I like it, and I'm a teenager Review by: , Nov 20, 2010 |
| It's a show where you like it or you don't. I personally think that its great and the songs are amazing plus the set is OMG!!!!! Some people say its "not kid friendly" but honestly, its the same as the movie. Actually, each of the characters is more close and heartfelt than in the movie. |

Sutton Foster is a hit! Review by: bwaylvr, Apr 8, 2010 |
| i thought shrek would be a somewhat stupid play-off of the movie. Boy, was i wrong. IT WAS FANTASTIC. One of THE BEST i have ever seen. The songs were not only witty, but so beautifully written, my favorite being "I know its today" sung by sutton foster. I <3 Sutton, she has always been amazing and she was THE star of the show. Her vocals were AMAZING. I couldnt get the songs out of my head! Besides that, I couldnt stop craking up from all the ... read more amazing jokes. For theatre go-ers, there are many jokes about other broadway shows. Must See! |

Review by: chgreen, Jan 14, 2010 |
| I took 2 of my granddaughters, ages 8 & 9, to see Shrek on Broadway in December. I was so disappointed. There were at least 3 bad words, h, d, & A, besides the word "stupid." Also I hate public display of and songs sung about bodily functions. I certainly wished I had checked this out before I bought tickets before going on the trip! I understand why it closed. It was not crowded at all! |

Great show, marvelous songs, and terrific acting. Enjoyed by the whole family ! Review by: Manzzear, Oct 19, 2009 |
| I have five sons and have seen the show 5 times. After seeing the show the first time, I was hooked! I loved the movie but the show blows it away. Great singing, acting and connection to the audience. I plan to keep on coming back as long as the show runs. |

A happy, funny, laid-back show to see Review by: , Oct 16, 2009 |
| My family saw the show last week. I felt that it was definitely a cute and enjoyable show. The actors were wonderful. Fiona and Donkey are spectacular, and so was Lord Farquaad. The original Shrek couldn't perform, but Shrek's standby did a wonderful job filling in. It might not be the best show out on Broadway right now, but you will absolutely leave with a smile on your face. |

ALL WRAPPED UP TO MAKE ONE PERFECT SHOW Review by: MY 3 SUNNZZ, Sep 29, 2009 |
| With three boys ages 11, 9 and 4 this show kept the attention that many we have saw have not. This was a pure entertaining show with tremendous humor. Every scene was upbeat and no down moments, which always seem to come up no matter what show it is. Two bad things being the begnning was a little scary for the little one which I think was because we were so close. So being further back paying less money would have been better for me, but ... read more nothing he didn't get used to by the second act. Also, to the people that are sick and cannot stop coughing you should either stay home or cover your mouth. We had behind us a woman and child who on average coughed every 3 minutes blowing the back of our hair around because of the rudeness of not once covering her mouth. Otherwise, Shrek was amazing. Well worth the money. The story, acting, scenery was all one big perfect package loved by ALL. |

ehhhh.... Review by: PM, Sep 27, 2009 |
| It's probably ok for kids under 10 but for adults it is kind of a yawn. The sets and costumes are great but there isn't one memorable song in the bunch. I loved the movie but surprisingly the warmth you felt for the characters in the movie didn't translate to the stage. The cast is really talented but by the end I didn't care if Shrek & Fiona ended up together or not. Every song and dance routine felt like it was forced to fit into the genre ... read more of musical theater. The seats were great though and the theater is beautiful. Take the little ones but if you want to see it rent the movie. |

A great show with Outstanding Performers Review by: MisterZee, Sep 15, 2009 |
| We absolutely enjoyed every minute of Shrek The Musical. The four lead performers were superb and deserved the standing ovation they received. Before seeing Shrek, we also saw the highly-touted Hair and West Side Story. Our enjoyment of Shrek far, far exceeded our experiences at those other musicals. GO!! GO!!! GO!!!! |

What A Stunner of a Show! Review by: Heather, Sep 4, 2009 |

Had so much fun! Review by: Marjol, Aug 30, 2009 |
| We (me, a musicalfan, and my husband who doesn't like musicals, but was willing to go to this one) went to see Shrek on august 22nd and we absolutely LOVED it. The decor was absolutely great and we loved the acting, the songs, the jokes... it was perfect. Even my husband had a great time. |
