Pulling myself from my hiatus to talk about the new Shrek the Musical tour
We…lost a lot of music and I'm not too happy. Ballad of Farquaad and Don’t Let Me Go especially make me upset since those were big numbers? So, I guess the Farquaad backstory is gone? Cool 😐
Otherwise, I (hoped) assumed the other changes would happen like the removal of the T slur and bipolar. Fiona’s new line feels clunky though:
“Though I seem a bit erratic / I’m a find, I’m a catch, you can find me in the attic”
YES I am reporting about the rumor of Shrek 5…BUT, imo, I’m saying be weary, because something like this could easily be faked- so take it with a grain of onion salt.
did you see that at universal studios singapore you can finally meet ogre fiona instead of human fiona? and the best part is around halloween she wears an adorable witch costume ❤️😊 🧙♀️
EXCUSE ME???
You can’t say she has a witch costume and then not provide the pics!! That’s a MUST SEE!
I’ve actually been tracking the Beijing park recently since it seems like they keep their Shrek characters with better costumes, but now that you’ve mentioned witch Fiona I gotta check Singapore again, LOL
Also! I think I mentioned it on a different post, but that’s one thing I really praised Universal for in general, like the fact you could meet ogre Fiona when parks like Disney have opted for the most visually pleasing versions of their princesses. (See Mulan in the matchmaker outfit when that’s hardly representative of her character)
Smash Mouth lead singer Steve Harwell passed today.
Thank you for everything you've done, all the years of joy you've brought us.
Thank you for helping breathe life into a franchise we love. For opening and closing the first movie with a song so perfect it was demanded to stay in the movie, and a cover so perfect it tied the whole movie together.
Thank you for being the face of the franchise through all the jokes and annoyance. You were the first thing some people knew about Shrek and I'm glad it started with your song.
I feel like we need to be speaking about the Shrek the Musical tour in the UK right now because, hello, they are INNOVATORS??

First off, I have to address Tallquaad. There’s gotta be a reason why he isn’t on his knees, right? Like, is he not short in this production? Also, the Vegas-looking Duloc? Insane.
Second, it looks like they could be using the version of Freak Flag with Shrek and Donkey (hence the scene in the trailer with Shrek dancing with Wolfie,) and I already have mixed feelings about that anyway.
ALSO. The addition of Tinkerbelle as a fairytale creature. No notes. That’s incredible.
Do I know the context of this? No, but I absolutely love the costuming.
And the Fairy Godmother in this looks more accurate to the Shrek 2 appearance, which I’m not taking to mean anything.
I want a short film that takes place during Shrek 2, where Puss has to deal with passed out and newly transformed Shrek and Donkey
He would absolutely have to become cool with the whole thing sometime during the night. So when all those ladies come in during the morning, he just has that moment of:
“Eh, they'll be fine.” And ditches them for attention. 💀
