FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Shrek The Musical
Shrek the Musical review – sludgy show leaves you green about the gills
5 / 10
Co-directed by Samuel Holmes and choreographer Nick Winston, with projections by Nina Dunn and sets and costumes by Philip Witcomb, the show often feels flatly unadventurous, typified by its lacklustre bridge-crossing sequence. Onions and ogres have layers, we’re told, in a line from the film. This musical? Not really.
Review: SHREK THE MUSICAL, Eventim Apollo
5 / 10
Ultimately, Shrek the Musical is a decent musical but struggles to live up to, not only the movie it’s based on, but also the original production of the show. The performers are all very talented but it feels as though they have been let down by this particular production’s creative choices, leading to most of the fun being taken out of the world of fairytales. Shrek cannot seem to decide if it wants to be childish or mature, leading to a strange dance in between the two that neither children nor adults can fully enjoy.
