Shrek the Musical
opened at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on the 14th June 2011 after having a
successful run on
Broadway and on tour in the USA. The show has
received lots of publicity from having stars
such as Amanda Holden featured so my expectation was reasonably high because of
the hype that the producers had surrounded the show with. However, I can say I
am more than disappointed with this production.
The show was not
like the original Broadway one, if it was I would have been happy but the level
of quality of the scenery was not even tour standard. I sat through the first
act with my head in my hands wondering how such a terrible show is being allowed
to play to paying West End audiences; I would have walked out in the interval if
I wasn't with someone who wanted to watch the second act.
