It's entertaining. That's the most I can say. The first fifteen minutes are so bad and cringy, but it gets better once Donkey is introduced. All the songs are okay. There are no songs I would never listen to unless I was watching the whole show. The big thing the saves this musical for me is Donkey. He is the only character that I actually found funny. While Shrek and Fiona are entertaining, Donkey was the only one that I truly enjoyed watching. Some of the singing sounded very nasally. I don't know if it was because of the audio or because of the singers, but it did not sound particularly good. Over all, this ain't my least favorite musical, but it's no where close to my favorite.

Shrek: The Meh Musical
Ignore the Nay Sayers
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!
Yikes
If you want your ears and eyes to bleed, you can watch this lame-brained idea on youtube. The songs are neither catchy nor memorable. Want to know how bad it is? The whole show is free on youtube, that's how bad it is.
