It's Happening...

When they first announced that "Shrek" would be made into a Broadway musical, I kind of rolled my eyes and continued to eat my Lucky Charms Treat. When they announced the entire cast, I still didn't think they would actually go through with hit. Well, they are and here's Brian d'Arcy James in full costume as Shrek. He looks like something I hocked up this morning. It was crunchy too. Should I be concerned?

This d'Arcy James dude better be making bank to get into this boogery mess every night. And sing in it! Although, if I saw him in costume in a dark bar, I'd probably want to get with him. Think of all the things you can do with those two horns! Bump and suck!

The caca fiesta known as "Shrek" opens tomorrow night in Seattle and will come to Broadway this November.

The folks on "All That Chat" , a B-Way chatboard are creaming themselves over "Shrek"...seriously. Some members of ATC are actual B-way producers and actors.

I said it was sad that Shrek was coming to the theater that used to house "Rent". I said it was the sign of a declining Broadway.

I was quickly smacked down. These B-way "insiders" said "Rent" was tourist drivel and "Shrek" was going to win multiple Tony awards.

Am I living in Bizarro World?????

Shrek was alright, but this computer animated shit's gotten out of hand and dare I say fuck annoying.

Yeah, but can he do a bad Scottish accent?

I saw him a few years ago in Lieutenant of Inishmore, and I can say he does a damn good Irish accent. Though this kind of behavior makes me ashamed to not only have met this man, but to be a musical theatre lover. DAMN you BDJ for tainting me

I also apologize for my stupidity, since Shrek is not Disney. I guess we'll need to outlaw all the animation studios from the Great White Way. Pity, the Lion King was decent.

I apologize in advance for the people I'm about to offend, but anyone who sees this piece of shit needs to be drug into the street and shot. Shitty dreck like this is completely ruining Broadway, and Disney really needs to just back...the fuck...off from musical theater if they insist on keeping to put out turds like this disgusting mess. No man should have to endure the indignity of that makeup. Whoring for The Mouse is for teen jailbait only.

Whenever I see someone doing something so ridiculous and humiliating, I think, "do they have a family? Children?" and then I think how much work they did to get this role, and they go home to their family and tell their wife, " I did it! I got the role!" and they are super happy and they have to dance and sing on stage like an idiot... yeah..I feel bad for that guy... probably hires a prostitute to blow him during the intermission...
Well anyways, I would rather see this craptastic piece then see John Mayer in concert..

I want to know who the hell is going to all these horrible musicals and where can I find them so I can slap the stupid out of them?

Hey, it's a reasonable question!

You won't get an answer because the line to slap the bozos would be longer than the line to buy tickets to the lame shows.

Will Cammie reprise her role as Fiona?
That would really bring a halt to this stupid-assed idea.

*Note to theater heads: Just because it was a successful and popular movie, does not mean that you should go anc butcher it by making a broadway play out of it; full of goofy costumes, wierd imagery, and corny ass show tunes. STOP!

I truly hate this franchise - Shrek and all of its characters are so unattractive and uninteresting.
