okay, maybe TWO AND THREE QUARTERS

im a former professional actor from seattle now living and working steadily in new york. saw SHREK a couple of weeks ago. enjoyed a good part of it. BUT....
shreks ballad and fionas pre wedding ballads need to go, unless they are there for tech/costume changes. needs about twenty five minutes cut off the show. nice scenic design. leads were great (farquad was friggin OUTSTANDING; he steals the show and will win an tony) but, having replaced donkey already, they need to replace the actor currently playing him as well. did the eddie murphy voice, but there was abosolutely no physicality to his part that matched the voice to the body movements. he moved like he had had a bottle of nyquil on the rocks at five min. before curtain. a dismally created character.
they also need to figure out what to do with dragon. underused, confusing ballad that drizzled to nothing in the second act.
and speaking of, so many of the shows songs did the same thing, they just kind of drizzly shitted into an ending. no big finish, or at least in a majority of them, excpeting lord F's.
granted, its a work in progress. im sure it will get better. just as soon as they give the donkey the boot.
