MY VIEW
This was my first time seeing Shrek: The Musical on stage. This show is one of the most humorous shows I have ever seen. I love the character development; the actors really have fun with their parts and keep the audience entertained. I was impressed with the costumes and found it really impressive that the students made many of the costume pieces. One of my favorite costumes was the dragons. Wait until you see the vibrant costume with full mask. The thing I like most about the show is the message. The musical takes the original message of not judging a book by its cover and builds upon it. The moral of the story is really brought out in the song, “Let Your Freak Flag Fly.” The song highlights that being different isn’t something to hide or be ashamed of; our unique qualities are something to be proud of. This show seemed to be perfect for audiences of all ages but really great for eight and up; especially since it really drives home the importance of loving yourself for who you are.
