But having never seen one "Shrek" movie, let along any of the sequels, this appeals to me like a night out with Mel Brooks.Steve On Broadway (SOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04353077627991682499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12657288.post-11805360025141066802008-01-24T12:55:00.000-05:002008-01-24T12:55:00.000-05:00Yes, but the composer Tesori is also responsible f...Yes, but the composer Tesori is also responsible for the bubbly Thoroughly Modern Millie that made the perky Sutton Foster a huge star. And Lindsay-Abaire made his name with a string of absurdist comedies including the hilarious Fuddy Meers. So you can't say these people are void of FUN. That along with the director of Avenue Q sounds like a pretty swell team if they HAVE to do this. But god, do they HAVE to do this? Honestly?<BR/><BR/>One thing that gives me a bit of hope though - the movie got a lot of its laughs by skewering Disney movies. Might the musical turn its teeth on the Disney theatrical ventures a little bit? Oh here's hoping. That WOULD be fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
