If you’ve never seen the movie but have stumbled upon the musical then we implore to you watch the source content and let us know what you think in comparison to the show. Also worth checking out the pro-shot of the show to see its incarnation before it went on tour featuring the old dragon number! ‘Shrek Retold’ is an incredible fan project where the entire film is re-created by the people who love it most. For some tasty hate comments check out Tommy’s video where he reacts to the Shrek musical pro-shot! We are so happy that they redid the dragon for the tour. Which number do you prefer?
