They ask you how you are and you have to say that you're fine but you're not really fine but you couldn't get into it because it cause they would never understand
It is a high school production, so don't expect a Broadway performance. The kids obviously worked hard on it and even though the vocals could use some more work, they did a good job. They went for it and were all in, even if they probably knew the vocals weren't always where they should have been. That is to be applauded.
The awkward silence during the wedding scene KILLED ME, but Shrek's save after falling off the stage was brilliant. Talk about making the best of a bad situation!
Jay Andrews dont get me startes I'm in highschool so I get that you may have you few issues but still there's a reason. For practicing there's a reason there's a conductor and there's clearly very poor favoritism
I was in the pit in high school I played the trumpet they have some serious tuning issues and they needed to rehearse way more they don’t know when to come in or how parts go we didn’t even sound like this when we first got the music
Yeahhh that was my buddy. He was really shy. He always nailed any part when we were practicing it but put in front of an audience and he always clammed up and sucked.
+Trinity Soothsay honestly my school just did sweeney todd and it was amazing we did spamalot last year it was way better this school can't sing thats the problem
Thanks! I tried my hardest even with a flu and strep throat! I ended up out of school for two weeks after the production was over..... lol it was totally worth it!
the song "I know it's today" was really good but I think the two "younger" Fiona's were way better then the final actress other then that the rest was ok I guess
Even though sometimes the vocals aren't the best... this was THE BEST production of Shrek (besides on Broadway) I have ever seen!! Hilarious and beautifully put together! Well done everyone!
I just came here to get some inspiration for my school play and all I see are some negative ass comments, like chill tf out, it's a f#@&king High School play!!! it's not Broadway. So what if a kid or two is off key or if someone misses their cue and they can't make a joke to recover the "awkward time". You guys don't know how hard it takes to re-create something that you hope people will love. Just stop with the negativity and hating on these kids it really shows how immature you really are.
This is the worst show of this I’ve seen though. This show freaking sucks. I’m not immature either, but I’ve seen better high school shows than this. Look online, you’ll find better ones than this. The quality is better than ones I’ve seen though. Of course that has nothing to do with the show!😂😂
I thought this musical was amazing, it looks like all the students put in a lot of time and hard work... Farquuad did an amazing job as did Shrek... I think for a high school musical this cast was very talented.
Giving some positive vibes here: this is absolutely amazing, I’m a person who grew up on Shrek, and the people playing Shrek and Donkey almost got the voices perfect! Lord farquad (or however you spell it) was played as well as it could since the person was on their knees the entire time. Also the scene where the characters had to go into the swamp, that dance number was amazing! Edit: and yes I know I’m a *few* years late
OMG!!! What a play. I absolutely love the production and the band. It is so amazing, this 100 percent deserves to be on Broadway with the same actors. This is the third time I'm watching this today. Boy do I love it and thank you for the pleasure.
wow this is amazing! why would anyone dislike this? guys this isnt broadway its a high school calm down. the girl who played the dragon was amazing even the prop was soo good! and how could anyone not like donkey!!!
Can't say they didn't put a lot of effort into this, but when you call your production "Best High School production on RUclips" you gotta live up to it.
Why does this have so much hate?! Minus that one person on horn (you know who I mean) I thought it was great! Plus, it's highschool, not broadway. Donkey was amazing!
Why doesn't the ensemble have any Energy when they sing. It brings the entire quality of the production down to at least a six out of 10. they seem like they'd rather hang themselves with Barbwire than actually be on stage
Robbie does guitar stuff I'm in theatre, and our director let us watch a video of ourselves, and we all thought we were doing so so so much more than we actually were. These people probably didn't have this opportunity, so they didn't understand. Now everyone in my musical is doing waaaay better than we were.
It's also really confusing to have gingy be in story of my life because gingy is supposed to be in lord farquaads chamber shortly after, and that's when Farquaad sends gingy to the swamp
I don't want to be so overly judgmental, but many of the actors/actresses in the show missed lines or cues, and the mics were definitely on heat. And there was such a lack of energy, it seemed, like no one really wanted to be there. The Shrek was pretty good, he seemed reminiscent of Brian d'Arcy James, but other harmonies seemed so forced and shaky.
7 minutes in, and I've got to say adult Shrek's vocals are outstanding. the acting for all of the main characters is very good for a high school production. a few of the lines and some other things have changed, but I suppose that's just because it's Shrek jr. maybe? either way, amazing production, and thank you for sharing!
I’m doing Shrek at my school and I’m the ugly duckling and I actually loved this show. The fiona was so good. Shrek. I feel for him. I bet he was running or something to get to is place. He also fell and improvised that line. I’m so glad that Shrek is my senior show because it’s so fun!
This is a great staging! Even you' re not dedicated to this profesionally... I really liked "Donkey" and I think it's unfair criticizing your job although I consider some things could be done better at the moment of assembling, I really enjoy watching your version and I would also like to comment to whoever edited the sound, it's an amazing job!! That's why theatre was created for, to enjoy... Thank you
zeldaglitchgamer You kinda are being picky. It can get nerve racking on stage and sometimes things don't too as planned. It's called the show must go on.
I agree with you, it''s just a big claim to make as the best on youtube. I think they did a pretty good job, I just think there's always room for improvement. I've done Shrek the Musical twice, once as Farquaad and once as Shrek, and not everything went perfect for me or the rest of my cast. I didn't mean to offend anyone, I was just saying there are other equally good productions for this musical
zeldaglitchgamer Good to know. I thought you were just being like all the other haters on here. There definitely is room for improvement. No offense at all, why on earth would I be offended?
Minion Goggle Idk lol. I know how hard musicals or plays in any respect are hard to perform and I didn't know if you were one of the performers. Even if you weren't, I still wouldn't be a jerk to anyone intentionally
dont mind me just bookmarking all my songs to practice with since k cant find the tracklist for the version we're doing 17:52 Don't let me go 43:39 Travel Song 50:23 Forever 1:08:00 Who Id Be 1:35:25 Make a Move
Y’all saying “this is a high school production what did you expect” my high school can produce a professional sounding and looking production with no budget
My school is doing this musical I am penocio, the person playing it wasn't bad at all, it's always fun to see other people do the same part I am, I've noticed penocio is like always a girl in a high school production. The only thing I wish was the girl that played the dragons voice was stronger, it was very shaky.
okay so for people saying everyone's being rude this is where I'm coming from. Before we even started blocking everyone was off book. Our leads all have strong voices and we spend so much time and effort to try to make our sets look good. and we're not an arts school or anything. we're a public school where the school only has about 550 kids in total. we took everyone who auditioned and we still only have a cast of like 35. so when a school claims to be the best version and I see that my tiny school is better than it I'm disappointed. our directors would be mad at us if we performed like this during muck throughs. THATS why I say this version isn't good. they tried their hardest, but you can tell that a lot of the cast didn't put 100% in to their performance
Allison Garippo I understand what you’re saying!! I go to a public school but we had very strong actors. Our Shreks voice was on point and our coach was very hard on us to have an amazing show. It was hard work but we had a fantastic show and an amazing turn out for each performance. It takes a lot of hard work to be the best, and I’m not saying that my school is, but one thing this show needed was more characterization and ability to tell the story.
Remember; this is a highschool production, not a Broadway show. Even if the singing and acting could be improved, it's obvious that every cast member put a lot of effort into this.
This gives me memories from when I did shrek the musical with my drama academy. I remember that my brother was shrek 😂 Well done to these students in this video! 😊
when the kid shouted ‘no more’ that represents most the people commenting tbh😂 i think this is really good, sure some of the lines are shaky, but i love donkey, shrek and especially lord f. he’s such a joy to watch, he has natural talent. i also think shrek was really good, especially when he improvised about falling over. also, DRAGON IS SO UNDER APPRECIATED. SHES SO TALENTED AND THE ACTUAL DRAGON COSTUME - Y E S ALSO ALSO ALSO donkey was awesome! i understand loads of people said that but he is genuinely amazing! i could go on about everyone else but i won’t. have a nice day :)
I'm sorry I would never usually put a negative comment but as a theatre kid who is doing this exact musical there were MANY things they need to work on. Costumes, set, choreography, blocking, inflection, singing, projection, and energy.
I've for sure seen High Schools ten times better than this, live and on RUclips. I'm not saying these kids are awful, but it's a terrible choice to advertise it as "the best" when it's far from it.
The donkey could actually be a broadway actor he literally saved the show 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼
Gabriellie Gouveia he was so bad
If I️ saw him on broadway I️ would leave the show
no, he was the best part.
Rich Katin stfu donkey was good
@@murphy3144 Are you serious? The best of the show. It would have been a boring show without donkey.
When they held up the applause sign, no body clapped
Tell me the timestamp for that

they did there BEST!
It wasn’t awful. I honestly preferred the version my school did a while though, but mainly because the vocals were better.
I thought Shrek's parents were pretty good.
There are some good parts and what you said is true but at points I wanna hide in a hole
ya but they should have picked people who can sing for singing roles and people who can’t sing but can act as only acting
When Shrek fell, I was REALLY confused. Then I hear, "I fell for you, you better love me." I threw my phone to the wall when I heard that.
Ana Sofia Ferrer time?
What?/Why?/When?
When?

I still love that the only one that seems to enjoy this is the dude playing Donkey.

can we not? they are amazing
I was in the pit in high school I played the trumpet they have some serious tuning issues and they needed to rehearse way more they don’t know when to come in or how parts go we didn’t even sound like this when we first got the music

sorry but papa ogre didn't even know the words :/

They have to have a role for everyone
Probably the only costume option available at the time.
There was an Elsa in mine

Probably because she has magic powers

When you actually let your high schoolers sing "...called me a hot and tr*nny mess", you just know that's good directing.
Marissa Perez I’m doing it rn and they changed it 😔
They clearly did not see the sheet of paper with all the edits that need to be added in
the song "I know it's today" was really good but I think the two "younger" Fiona's were way better then the final actress other then that the rest was ok I guess
LitTals201617 exactly
definitely
It's only that the oldest need to be the tallest, because Fiona is getting older.
I agree though
You know what I didn't even realize how hard Shrek must've worked to get that accent down. Good job!
?!?! I've already watched this production? My school is now doing this musical, so I'm watching to get a feel for the different roles.
Even though sometimes the vocals aren't the best... this was THE BEST production of Shrek (besides on Broadway) I have ever seen!! Hilarious and beautifully put together! Well done everyone!

This is a really good performance. At my school there are about four kids who are good singers, but they found like a 8,423 of them.

They seem so uninterested. and they seem off key

okay so for people saying everyone's being rude this is where I'm coming from. Before we even started blocking everyone was off book. Our leads all have strong voices and we spend so much time and effort to try to make our sets look good. and we're not an arts school or anything. we're a public school where the school only has about 550 kids in total. we took everyone who auditioned and we still only have a cast of like 35. so when a school claims to be the best version and I see that my tiny school is better than it I'm disappointed. our directors would be mad at us if we performed like this during muck throughs. THATS why I say this version isn't good. they tried their hardest, but you can tell that a lot of the cast didn't put 100% in to their performance
Allison Garippo I understand what you’re saying!! I go to a public school but we had very strong actors. Our Shreks voice was on point and our coach was very hard on us to have an amazing show. It was hard work but we had a fantastic show and an amazing turn out for each performance. It takes a lot of hard work to be the best, and I’m not saying that my school is, but one thing this show needed was more characterization and ability to tell the story.
Same!! We’re doing this and we’re not even finished and already better and we’re 100% self funded and have a tiny budget
Remember; this is a highschool production, not a Broadway show. Even if the singing and acting could be improved, it's obvious that every cast member put a lot of effort into this.
When Broadway’s been closed for 11 months and won’t be opening for another 6, so you end up here.
Donkey saved the whole thing btw
Humpty Dumpty’s solo in Freak Flag is my favorite thing in this production

i think this is really good, sure some of the lines are shaky, but i love donkey, shrek and especially lord f. he’s such a joy to watch, he has natural talent.
i also think shrek was really good, especially when he improvised about falling over.
also, DRAGON IS SO UNDER APPRECIATED. SHES SO TALENTED AND THE ACTUAL DRAGON COSTUME - Y E S
ALSO ALSO ALSO donkey was awesome! i understand loads of people said that but he is genuinely amazing!
i could go on about everyone else but i won’t. have a nice day :)
zoinks scoob thanks for the comment! I was donkey in this video, can’t believe how long ago this was now! Tried my best with strep throat 👍🏻
the main Fiona in I know its today was trying way too hard to Sutton foster it......
Lucy S i totally agree
My drama teacher has a deep hatred for this musical. They should consider themselves lucky being able to perform such a masterpiece.
Why
Fiona was a delight to watch! Such a clear and well intonated voice :)
SchwarzSchatten123 umm but the voice cracks
Well it is a highschool
Nah. She seemed too catty
*And for breakfast, I'm makin' waffles!*
Lol
humptys voice tho!! 😍
I'm sorry I would never usually put a negative comment but as a theatre kid who is doing this exact musical there were MANY things they need to work on. Costumes, set, choreography, blocking, inflection, singing, projection, and energy.
I've for sure seen High Schools ten times better than this, live and on RUclips. I'm not saying these kids are awful, but it's a terrible choice to advertise it as "the best" when it's far from it.
Best Day Ever !!!!
Those high schools may have been better...but did they do shrek: the musical? I didn’t think so
Mads 1611 Huhhhhhhh?????? Isn't that like the same thing??
The first villagers scene is making me cringe
donkey was absalutley amazing. he has a career in this if he goes for it!
Finish the lyrics:
SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD WAS GONNA ROLL ME, I AINT THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHEEEAAAD
SHE WAS LOOKIN KINDA DUMB WITH HER FINGER AND HER THUMB IN THE SHAPE OF AN L ON HER FOREHEAD
Newfield high school's performance of this was absolutely amazing
dont call something the best if the kid cant even remember his lyrics in the first song of the show.
What
It was a joke tho
The time will come when this is better than the Illumination reboots
we're doing this musical at our school!!
I wish they did it at my school I've been waiting for years to be able to do this 😂😂😅
So are we!!
+Jolie.Productions what school do you go to?
