Movies are a funny thing are they? First they start out on the silver screen and if they’re well written and funny enough they end up on the great white way. If you don’t know what the great white way is another term for Broadway, then might have an aversion to musicals. One musical that will make you learn to love them is Shrek The Musical. It’s funny, crisp and clever enough to make people who might not like musicals, forget that they’re watching musical theatre and not a movie.
Shrek The Musical was captured during a live performance on Broadway using 10 cameras and directed by Michael Warren. It features 17 brand new songs and was called “the best musical for younger audiences since The Lion King” by Time Out NY.
The musical is based on the movie and features our favorite green ogre fighting for the little guy, his smart talking donkey and more. A bonus of the Blu-ray DVD is that it features behind the scenes clips of how a large scale Broadway show is put on, options to just play the songs and a songbook that lets you sing along.
Shrek The Musical comes out on Blu-ray DVD on October 15.
