hey just a heads up, calling disabled people the c word you used (not sure if youtube censors it) is offensive so please be mindful not to use it in the future. other than that this was a good video, thanks for the recap! i love hearing different peoples opinions on this show

You know none of the characters, watching 30,000 strangers kill each other over a piece of grass would have been costly and meant nothing to anybody. The title shows how low the bar is for your viewership. Go watch a Marvel film, obviously good story-telling isn't for you.

Mz Pat?😂

Great video🎉

Was Zack Hample there?

This is a nice fresh take, I like that you haven't seen the Broadway musical and can look at this tour without any bias or previous expectations. I saw the Broadway on RUclips and Netflix and even bought the DVD, so seeing this new tour might be a disappointment for me in terms of set, production, and costuming. But I'm sure the actors are doing their best with their performances despite the other setbacks. ❤️

Ime sorry, but everything i have seen about this production is shit, especially when they make it that cheap and crap. Like i have seen 2 fantastic amateur productions off it, with WAY!!!! Better costumes and a full shrek costume and mask, just like the Broadway produktion. And the fact they they made lord farquard tall, just ruins the jokes about him... they took them out because off the snowflakes out thete.... Oh and I mention, they had a full dragon puppit... If i went in to see thst production, i woud demand a refund like a karen, and ime not a karen.

Dude, you're about 25 years too late. Hollywood has long since fallen and Bdwy with it. Likewise the work ethic and discipline that once defined a life in the theatre. Dumbed down, narcissistic, woke pabulum. That's all that's left.

Thank you so much again friend! we’re excited for the upcoming content 🤍

I think the problem is that Hollywood only jumped back on the musical train after they saw how big something like Hamilton got. We also have people who know nothing about musicals directing them and not making choices that benefit the medium that they're in

This should have more views. Thanks for it!

early here💜💜💜

Completed the steps! Thank you for the chance in, best wishes to the channel! 🤍🤍🤍

Just saw this live and (as of May '24) they don't use the black suits anymore, I like the new costumes waaaay better than the old ones I saw on Insta with the black suits. Simpler than what some other productions have done, but charming in the right ways, and they feel much more fairytale without the undersuits. The actors now dress in street clothes when acting as storytellers. The whole cast was phenomenal, Cecily as Fiona made so many vocal stylistic choices (like the sudden belts and growls) that had me in awe and really shows how she's not your typical princess. And OMG her voice just in general, aaaahhh!!! Naphtali as Donkey opted up several times in Forever and made it seem effortless -- and his portrayal of the character was spot on! And Nicholas as Shrek was simultaneously so powerful and so sincere. Especially in Who I'd Be and Words Fail. People might disagree with me on this, but I actually prefer having the Dragon singer being fully onstage and able to interact with Donkey to having a Dragon puppet. I wish there would've been much more scenery for Farquaad's castle and Dragon's keep. The simpler set worked for the swamp and travel, though (which is majority of the show). Like, you don't need super elaborate sets for most of the show because the swamp and travel parts are truly focused on the characters. I did miss the cut songs a lot, because I love the whole soundtrack of the musical and I know that those songs added even more depth to the characters. I honestly wish this phenomenal cast would've had the chance to perform them all, especially for Naphtali to get the chance at Don't Let Me Go after being stunned by his part in Forever! Even though I had an amazing time at Shrek, I hope that the cutting of the songs that were cut in this production doesn't become standard. The more awesome songs from the original, the better 😊

Saw this production two days ago in Wheeling WV. I also respect the actors and feel they did well considering what they had to work with but this production was a mess; set was amateurish, costuming and makeup was mediocre - all the magic of the story was gone. I saw a tour of the Broadway version about 10 years ago with a friend and it was magical. So I strong-armed my husband into seeing this one. What a huge disappointment. We left at intermission (would have been sooner but didn't want to be rude by climbing over other audience members). We saw a number of other people leaving as well, including a family with 3 children. My husband quipped on the way out "we could have bought a nice meal at Ruth's Chris Steak house for the price we paid for those tickets" lol

I’m going to see it in May!!!! I’m so excited!!!!! (The only thing I hate is that I’m gonna have to watch Regina and Shane fucking in the Lions costume next to my mother)

The Tour, She Is Cheap.

This non-union tour looks like a good community theatre production.

Look, I can’t even finish your review because you keep saying how you knew nothing about the original musical. I hated this production SO MUCH. It’s WAY too simplified. Now, I love all the actors and they are very talented and deserve way more. Costuming/ makeup was a MESS. Set was so basic. They cut all the dance numbers. They cut donkey’s song. They cut the dragon’s song and replaced it with a mediocre song. They sucked all the magic out of it. I was so disappointed to take my daughter to see one of my favorite shows and instead got a high school musical. There is a community theater about 15 mins away that is doing the show next weekend. I am tempted to go and see if their production is better. I should NOT have had to pay $100 per ticket to see a show of this production value. In addition, they had an understudy go on for Fiona and didn’t even inform the audience. To the actors: you were all wonderful. None of my shade is for you. I am so sad I didn’t get to see you in a full production.

I really wonder about this review. I totally respect the actors, but we went last night and the rewrite from a writer/director perspective was a mess. It isn't the job of the tour to think about how to make it easier for local and youth theatre to adapt big costumes and sets, they know how to do that on their own, Sweatpants and a bike helmet for donkey is just lazy, leotards and black pants for ensemble??? There are 2800 seats in our theatre at $70-130 per seat (e.g. $238,000 a night)--no excuse for the low budget they gave, not fair to the actors who were giving it and not getting the cut of that money (awesome understudy for Fiona last night too). You can't cut donkey's song, the tap section, or not give a motivation for the Lord F to hate the "freaks." You really have to do your homework on your reviews. It's not Eddie Murphy that he is adapting, its Daniel Breaker. You have to understand the motivation for the songs that were written to review this, for example why there's a broom and a reference to wicked with Lord F? Cause in the original he rises to the top of the castle and lights go green. Have to do your homework, the original is 2 hours on video, just important if your review is called "revamped National tour". that you know what was revamped IMHO,

Kayla is s a girl That is why she didn't act like a boy

hello! thank you so much for this video -- i'm a big big shrek musical fan but i'm in the UK so i'm not going to be able to see this tour! i do have a question, if you can remember: since the song 'don't let me go' has been removed -- did fiona and donkey still join in at the end of 'who i'd be?' (in the broadway version, fiona reprises a verse of 'i know it's today' and donkey reprises a verse from 'don't let me go' as shrek finishes the song, and i've always liked that three-part-bit between the leads) or was it just shrek solo the whole song?

Shrek here! Glad you had a great time. Who id be has always been on of my favorites, I’m so glad I get to share it with everyone 💚

The actress who played the dragon is my sister☺️ Thank you for your review! I’m so glad that you enjoyed it❤

Who I’d Be is probably one of my top 5 favorite musical songs of all time. Great take on the new musical and I’m excited to see it next month!

Thanks for the shout out! I’m glad you liked the show. To answer your question, Anand (Jafar) is 6’ and does wear boots that are slightly heeled. However his turban also adds 5-6”. I’m 5’5” but the way my costume is made, it purposely gives the illusion that I am smaller than I really am.

That bakery scene is so intense. My besties and I walked out of that movie and were like “he’s incredible - he’s incredible!! THE BAKERY CONFESSION!” We were talking about how attractive he is, because he’s so intensely vulnerable (or vulnerable intense?) and that’s something women subconsciously crave in men. And then my mom saw it like a year later and was telling me she liked it and was like “do you remember the bakery scene- he’s so talented, I was riveted!” YES MA’AM I DO. I then told her our theory of his rawness being irresistible to women, automatic attraction. She agrees!! That scene is so terrific. He’s a very gifted actor.

Sadly, this is a Fathom event. So, they are unlikely to release these in digital. They will probably release it in theaters every few years or so to keep people coming back. I would love these Broadway show movies to own as well. Second only to seeing the live performances.

Adrienne Shelly was murdered in 2006, before the Waitress movie was released. Sara signed on to write for the musical in 2013. I don't think the idea of the movie being turned into a musical happened until long after Shelly's passing. The musical is a great tribute to Shelly's memory. Sara is one of the best musical artists of my time and she's very underrated. I absolutely loved seeing this musical in theaters. I'll likely never make it to NY, so the big screen was the next best thing.

Matt, I'm so happy you picked "Happy Holidays, You Bastard"! I got a little giggly watching Raley read the lyrics lol

I enjoyed my time watching it due to the great chemistry between the lead characters and wacky silly humour that worked for me. The movie is very underwritten and underdeveloped though. Which is a shame because there are some good concepts here that unfortunately go nowhere. Great review! Keep making the great content 👍

Vivo was created by dreamworks to cash in on Lin-manuel Miranda's ITH success. In fact, this movie was originally going to be an animated version of that, but it didn't pan out. On that note, he didn't cast himself in this, but rather they wanted him as the lead because he was incredibly fresh at the time and he was the reason they wanted to create this film in the first place

Thanks kindly for sharing your glowing review of this latest new Musical North American Tour version of Aladdin, I SO appreciate it and it's wonderful to hear!! I just had the AWESOME opportunity to see this very Production with this very same Cast last Week in Milwaukee, WI and I COULDN'T agree MORE with your analysis!! The WHOLE Production was INCREDIBLE!! Adi Roy as Aladdin was ABSOLUTELY perfect in this physically demanding and DEFINITELY quite challenging role! He absolutely EMBODIES Aladdin and in my personal opinion, he is the absolute BEST Aladdin I've EVER seen! He is UBER Talented and has the looks, personality, youthful exuberance and energy to play this Role to a "T"! He IS younger and definitely looks younger than most Aladdin's and I feel that is by FAR SUCH an important factor in making the role the most believable as possible and a VERY important factor in nailing the role too, but Adi is also UBER Talented in Singing, Acting and Dancing, so his age is just a Bonus and it doesn't make him any less of a FANTASTIC Performer, THAT'S for sure!! Everyone else in the Main Roles, Senzel Ahmady, as Jasmine, Marcus M Martin as the Genie, Anand Nagraj, as Jafar, Aaron Choi, as Iago, etc., were equally FANTASTIC in their roles and I even had the distinct privilege and pleasure to meet most of the Main Cast after the Production at the Stage Doors and I can gladly tell you that they are ALL beautiful people inside AND out!! This is a MUST see and if the opportunity somehow presents itself to meet any of the Cast, go for all of it, as well, you won't be disappointed!! ❤😊

'promo sm' 😻

There were some things I liked. Halle Bailey was amazing! The musical numbers were very well done. The under water sequences were great. Once we got out of the water, the romance didn’t work as well for me. Great review 👍

I love the little mermaid ❤.She played dam

I feel like this movie would have done better if it was released a decade earlier. As it is though? It feels very meddling, and like Disney is only making these things out of necessity rather than having a passion for them

I think one thing that gets overlooked about Miranda's performance, is that he really sells the idea of Hamilton being an underdog. I've seen recordings of other Hamilton's who were basically jack-of-all-trades, but it always falls flat for me personally because it's hard to see any of them I'm having such a massive downfall and it pushes the characters into Mary Sue territory

Good show Matt! Happy to be a part of the kazoocrue cult with you man! Jaret is such a good dude like you said.

I got to watch Nerdy Prudes Must Die live in Los Angeles. It was AMAZING! If anyone’s on the fence about getting tickets (live or digital), let me put it this way: I got a digital ticket after watching it at the El Portal just so I could watch it again. It’s absolutely worth it!

This movie is great. Y’all are just haters. Close minded, unimaginative people. Pfft

Matt is drinking Haterade, not booze.

Honesty: Went to see Moulin Rouge on a first date with a woman that would become my fiancee. Only capitulated to go because Jon Leguizamo played Toulose-Latrec. Loved the bejeezus out of it.
