Before I begin my review of "Shrek: The Musical", I have a confession to make: I've never seen a "Shrek" movie from start to finish. Just not my type of movie.

I went to see the show, almost begrudgingly, with a much younger relative & his parents. My only interest in this show was that Sutton Foster was playing "Fiona". I love Sutton Foster, and I've seen her in many things. Obviously, she was brilliant. Brian D'Arcy James, as "Shrek" was also fantastic. Their scenes together were excellent.

What I really wanted to talk about was the characters of "Donkey" & "Lord Farquad". Daniel Breaker, as "Donkey", was a joy to watch. He was hysterical & has a great singing voice. I think I saw him in one other thing, years ago, where he wasn't a main character, and he was great! I enjoyed watching him "ham it up".

Christopher Sieber plays "Lord Farquad", and he is such a comedic genius. The way this show creates "Lord Farquad", is so unique & brilliant, and Mr. Sieber handles the extremely challenging choreography with ease. I don't know how he sustained that while doing the show eight times a week.

I liked this show very much. Sure, there are parts that aren't as good or interesting as other parts, but overall it's such a good, fun, entertaining show. It's highly recommended.
