Wow I didn’t know you guys were married. Congratulations💍🎊🎉 Clariss is a Musical Theatre nerd too?! Like me!!!💚 I saw your Shrek the musical reaction last year but I didn’t put a comment on the video.

[@GhostKyng]

Some fun facts on this: • It took about an hour and a half for Brian d'Arcy James (Shrek) to get into makeup. • In the song "ballad of Farquad" Farquad references that his father is grumpy, one of the seven dwarves", (as we knew) and implying his mother is the princess from The Princess And The Pea. • John Tartagila played Pinocchio, Magic Mirror, and the puppeteer for Dragon. • Haven Burton Paschall was Sugar Plum Fairy, Gingy, and A Dragonette • Aymee Garcia was Mama Bear and A Dragonette • Rachel Steen was Shrek’s Mom, Tweedle Dum, and a Dragonette

[@BroNovaGaming]

Fun Fact: Shrek's parents kicking him out is an aspect taken from the Shrek book. Here it's treated as a tradition Ogers do when their children are a certain age. In the book it's because Shrek was born so much uglier than a usual Oger child, his parents kicked him out because they couldn't handle the sight of him.

I had the honor to play Shrek in this show a few years back, and to this day it's one of my favorite roles I've ever played. The show is wacky, crazy and an absolute blast.

[@MohamadNadi]

Much respect for the case of this musical they had a high bar to live up to. Also, you were the first person I've seen get the reference to Defying Gravity. Much props to the guy who played Farquad to be able to hit the note the legendary Idina Menzel hit

[@samuelcollantes1175]

I don't know why people say this musical sucks, it's a great Shrek adaptation! Thank you, Timothee (and to your friend as well) Happy friday and God bless you. Hope i see you soon for more, greetings from Colombia to you as well.

Oh my god, FINALLYYYYYYYY!!!! Someone finally reacted to the Musical!!!

[@majorleaguezombie796]

You would not believe how Long I’ve been waiting for someone to react to this! It deserves all the praise! I saw a musical production in my home state and I loved it! I’ve watched this in dvd for years! And finally someone gives it a chance for reaction!

[@BroadwayBound009]

Yes! Nothing makes me happier then reactions to musicals and watching people enjoy them. You should check out the pro-shots (filmed live performances) of “Billy Elliot live”, “Newsies the Musical” and “Come From Away” all of which are on streaming sites. They are fantastic and all have very different vibes/genres of musicals.

[@Smartalic10]

I like Lord Farquaad’s interpretation here. In the movie he was serious like any other evil villain. Here he’s basically a spoil brat with power, like if Prince Joffrey was a kids villain lol

[@Erik_Ahl]

I was lucky enough to play Donkey in my hometown's rendition of Shrek the Musical back in 2021! To say it was a dream come true is an understatement. 💚💚💚

[@LxShadowKnightMain]

I had a summer in high school where I watched this on repeat every day. Without exaggeration, I would have it on passively all the time, and as soon as it ended, I'd start it from the top. I'm 22 now and haven't seen this musical in so long but, I felt like I was 16 again for an hour watching this with you guys, so thank you

[@emilyschomer6715]

I was in this musical in middle school and it was SO fun. I was ensemble so I played a magical creature and I was Queen of Hearts

[@nickthedreamer4434]

This truly is a fantastic show. I love how they handled everything we already had and were still able to give it a fresh life.

[@TheBestMalePersonEver]

My favourite line is "if love is blind, maybe you wont mind the view" LIEK AJDFJHFISDHFDHS

[@misterplaywright]

In hindsight, the Mirror literally gave Farquad the option to rescue / wed someone that was either connected to his dad or was possibly his mom.

[@adamhandley9482]

This is one of my favorite musicals! Although a fun fact is that Farquaad would give his horse different names in each performance, other examples include Steven Spielberg, Justin Bieber, Fiberglass and Reference to the Second Movie.

[@Mal-pu4wb]

I love this musical, all the songs are wonderful. I am very happy that you reacted to this great movie

[@ZacKlepto]

My high school did this exact musical. The opening was the same, Farquad went “Wait a minyat”, the actor playing Farquad had trouble getting the leg to kneel, and the dragon was played by a woman and she came to the stage at the end

[@johnni-raecalzada2500]

I wish I had that opportunity in my high school career class but at least we did Matilda in my junior year

[@harrisonwaterhouse5051]

You guys spoke over the best harmonies in the show

[@carlotta4th]

Almost like it's a "reaction."

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite Shrek movie!!!!😊😊😊😊

[@ivanbutler5772]

When my school did Shrek a few years ago, I actually had the privilege of painting the Ogre sign at Shrek's swamp! Also I was given a backstage tour of the show where I saw a bunch of the props they would use, and I specifically remember holding the Gingy puppet

[@dclore]

Oh we need more and more musical reactions!!!

[@nicolasdangelica3547]

Hey so I love the reactions this was now one of my favorite reactions because in 2009 I saw Shrek the Musical on Broadway when I was 5 years old and also that was my first show, I saw on Broadway, so this has a special place in my heart. Also, since then I loved going to shows on Broadway and it's easy to go because I live in New York City.

[@happysigns]

My goodness! I had such a great time singing and laughing along with you! It brought back memories. Several years ago, I was introduced to it and not because of Broadway. It was because of something else. My sister was in school. And they were doing a musical. It was "Shrek the Musical." (Because it was an elementary school production, it was a Jr. performance.) My sister got double roles. She was a Duloc performer and the Pied Piper. She practiced hard. And she shone on that stage. We had family from out of town come watch her. And we saw the musical one evening. The kids in the musical were fantastic.

[@wesmcinerny4524]

Say, next you should look at the Shrek/Puss shorts and TV specials: Shrek in the Swamp: Karaoke Dance Party, The Ghost of Lord Farquaad, Far Far Away Idol, Shrek the Halls, Scared Shrekless, Donkey's Christmas Shrektacular, Thriller Night, The Pig Who Cried Werewolf, The Three Diablos, and The Trident. Also check out the TV series The Adventures of Puss in Boots and the interactive special Puss in Boots: Trapped in an Epic Tale.

I havnt clicked on a react video this fast in a LONG time ❤❤❤❤ this is one of my favorite musicals, I honestly love it more than the original. I play the songs while I'm cleaning; no joke, I adore this musical and its so highly underrated. The songs are amazing, the performances are brilliant, the acting is phenomenal - everything about this is great! So happy to finally see others appreciating it ❤

[@traviscouplin8847]

This was the best musical ever and I’m glad they put the I’m A Believer song in it.

[@rachelblanchard7431]

Oh, the shrek musical is the absolute best! The musical is incredible. You guys are gonna love it.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Personally, I think making Shrek a musical kind of undermines the point of Shrek, but I'll admit the actors are great and most of the songs are pretty good.

[@Bradenspooner]

How does it undermine the point of Shrek? Not criticism, I just want to hear more

[@almas4663]

Puss in Boots 2 existing undermines the point of Shrek even further. Cause at least the musical was satyrical...But Puss in Boots 2 unironically views itself as a serious fairytale, and even has a musical number and illustation artstyle

[@Thecoolgamer-cx9tj]

@@Bradenspoonerbecause the point of Shrek is to be a parody of big Disney musicals and this is trying to be a musical

[@millieboon]

Yh but I would say as it’s in a musical form it’s in its own class as u can you enjoy it separately to the shrek movies like yes it’s satirical but is also taking it’s self a bit more seriously and I would say it work’s especially with the original songs

[@PixarShark]

If they had released this back when the movie was first coming out, I would agree and it probably would have flopped for that reason. But I think Disney’s direction since then (suddenly scared of the traditional love story) oddly makes this work a little more. 😂 Plus this franchise has proven to hold itself as something way more than making fun of Disney. If that was the only leg it had to stand on, we wouldn’t be enjoying it 20+ years later. ❤

[@Treysor101]

I wonder if you'd consider "Legally Blonde The Musical" too. Just like Shrek as a movie made into a musical, the stuff added just enhanced what you already knew.

[@kimberlyferreira8522]

the musical is actually from 2008. 8423 days is actually 23 years, so since fiona was sent away at 7, she’s 30.

[@siddhantsamant3539]

You should let Clariss know the mother bear in the first shrek film is still alive and appears in the kaoroke dance party after the film

[@ryanoseguera1207]

I actually performed in this in high school! I played one of Farquad’s guards. Let me tell you, it was the most fun I’ve ever had in school!!!!

[@bms3928]

My High school performed Shrek the Musical. It was the best one I ever stared in.

This musical is actually really fun. It’s not really as grand as Hamilton, but it is as great as Wicked. It has some fun moments and fun songs. (BTW, loving the green shirts to watch the musical. 😅)

[@memyselfandi7782]

I loved Shrek the musical and I enjoyed your reaction! Ty for sharing!

[@beepboop3925]

this is gonna sound stupid, but i worked tech in high school for theater, and this was one of the musicals we did and it holds SUCH a place in my heart. I made the fairy's costume and one of farquads, and i was responsible for donkeys makeup for every show, it was such a fun experience, plus this was my first show working on set (not just making the tech stuff i actually ran the show) and we got to skip class for the matinees and stuff it was so so so fun and i miss it so much (i still remember all the songs by heart bc i heard it everyday for two weeks lol!)

[@feathersblu]

I love this musical! I was so mad when it got taken off Netflix. So glad there is more love for this!

[@WritersRealm-dt7ld]

[@micahflanders6789]

In some versions of the musical, the dragon had a different song called “Forever”, and I much prefer that one over “Donkey Pot Pie”. There’s some videos of it on KZbin, and I recommend checking it out.

Anyone noticed Donkey’s actor kinda looks like Korey from Double Toasted.

[@MeatSim9]

I learned that the guy playing Shrek in the musical also plays the HBO Legal Counsel in Eat Shit Bob. XD

So Fiona was 7 when she was put in the tower and she was in the tower for around 23 years so both she and Shrek are 30 when the show takes place

[@koko_kittyrose2922]

I love Shrek the Musical!! I actually watched it several times when it was Netflix, its so funny, the music is really good, and I like the actors.

[@EndymionDeVere]

If you ever get the chance, read the original children’s novel “The Adventures of Pinocchio” by the Italian writer Carlo Collodi. The fate of the talking cricket in the original tale makes death by windshield seem wholesome.

[@abc.animal5143]

Such a fun musical

[@julieta8683]

One of my top 3 favorite live stage musicals I've ever seen along with The Whiz Live! (2015) and Elf The Musical (2010) 😄💕🎶💚, also my favorite song from this musical is the Travel Song 🤣

[@LadyGreensleeves33]

17:00 - Yeah... 8,523 ÷ 365 = 23 years, more or less. So she's exactly 30 if she went in at age 7 😂

[@theplaguegamer6216]

Honestly, I think even with the context shrek would still be hurt and offended because because the half she hated in that moment was everything that he was.

[@princessamanda1234]

I love this play I’m also a big fan of musicals the first time I saw this play was on Netflix one of my favourites

[@BlueWolfTelevision]

Lord Farquaad the man playing him is in all Black and on his knees to control the legs so he’s able to control his arms but Lord Farquaad being small well the legs are attached on his thighs while he’s using knee pads but a hard character to be what she says is True!!

[@A113-p9e]

Personally, I do find that I agree with the one opinion that Shrek shouldn’t have sung until the campfire scene when asked who he’d rather be,

[@carlotta4th]

I get cinematically that would be cool, but not having the main character sing until the last song of Act 1 would be a bad idea.
