Coming To Broadway!

The speculation is over. It’s official!
Shrek is coming to Broadway.
And a projected date has already been set!
Shrek the musical has book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire and music by Jeanine Tesori. The show is being directed by Jason Moore.
“It’s the plot of the first Shrek movie,” says Moore. “But because we are going deeper into the emotional lives and back stories of the characters, we reveal things about them that none of the movies revealed.”
The show will play an out-of-town tryout at Seattle’s Fifth Avenue Theatre August 14th through September 21st. It will open on Broadway some time in November.
The state of new and “original” musicals is dire.
