Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune: You know that talking donkey in "Shrek"? On Broadway, he was one sardonic, smug steed. In Chicago, you can actually imagine him chomping blades of grass in your own backyard. You know that dragon? On Broadway, the beast was 17 feet of cold, hard pink. In Chicago, you feel like you could wrap your arms around the fire-breathing gal. Especially with her new retro-disco number. Instead of rearing back in your seat in horror at the millions of dollars being spectacularly consumed before your eyes, you lean toward that misunderstood puppet-dragon, who still packs the requisite spectacular punch.
