Shrek—Believe All Ogre Again

Liz Shivener as Princess Fiona and ensemble in “Morning Person” from Shrek The Musical 2011–2012 national tour, photo by Joan Marcus

William Steig (1907-2003), the artist once crowned the “King of Car-toons” by Newsweek, remains the

New Yorker’s longest-running contributor with more than 1,600 drawings and 117 cov-ers to his name. He began writing and illus-trating books for children at the age of sixty.

In the 1990 picture book Shrek!, Steig took familiar themes and characters from traditional fairy tales and wove them into a fabric of cutting wit and humor to create a modern-day fairy tale for kids and adults alike. From the indomitable Pinocchio to the lovable ogre himself, Shrek! allows each character to embody a sense of optimism and vigor that, while absent from classic fairy tales, fits nicely into the mind set of a new and involved generation. Whereas the classic fairy tale ogre is threatening, Shrek is kind, strong and wise.

DreamWorks Pic-tures brought Steig’s modern fairy tale to the screen in 2001. Early in the film’s production process, Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes felt that the story was a perfect fit for Broadway, and he and DreamWorks’ Jeffrey Katzenberg de-termined that the first step was to see how the characters came to life on screen.

The movie version of Shrek had its own fairy tale ending, going on to become one of the most successful film series of all time, even winning the first-ever Academy Award for an Animated Feature film. Having con-qured Hollywood, it was time for Shrek and his merry cohorts to take Broadway by storm. DreamWorks assembled some of the most celebrated, talented and slightly twisted creative types working on Broadway, with David Lindsay-Abaire (Book and Lyr-ics), Jeanine Tesori (Music), Jason Moore and Rob Ashford (Co-Directors) at the helm. They also turned to the top notch designer Tim Hatley for sets and costumes.

Shrek The Musical debuted in the sum-mer of 2008 at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre

and opened on Broadway in December of that year. During its Broadway run it played over 500 performances, garnered eight Tony Award nominations, ranked in the top ten musicals for ticket sales in 2009, and em-barked on a national tour. In May of last year, the show opened a production based in Lon-don, England.

The musical’s latest tour, coming to the Fisher Theatre in February, incorporates some critically-acclaimed adjustments in-cluding a new opening, new musical ar-rangements, and a new song, “Forever,” sung by the red Dragon.

During its run in Costa Mesa, California in October, Shrek The Musical made Mi-

cheal L. Quintos of Broadway World laugh for most of the night. In his review, he said “this amusing, big-kid friendly live-action cartoon musical delivers the laughs not with a beguiling snark but, rather with fart battles, cheeky sight gags and a sassy attitude,” add-ing that it’s “a silly, harmlessly fun show.”

The new production’s talented cast and hi-larious pop culture and Broadway referenc-es—look for jabs at everything from Wicked and A Chorus Line to Dreamgirls and Les Misérables—will undoubtably bring tons of good-humored fun to the Fisher Theatre stage in February and March 2012.

Shrek The Musical plays at the Fisher Theatre February 28–March 11. Tickets are on sale now at the Fisher Theatre box office, ticketmaster.com and 800-982-2787. Groups of twelve or more e-mail Groups@BroadwayInDetroit.com (subject line Shrek) or call (313) 871-1132.
