but this isn't really a musical video, just some cute advertising for the upcoming "shrek the musical" which is opening sunday on broadway. my personal favorite is "everything's coming up ogres" but perhaps that is just because of my love for gypsy the musical/patti lupone.

i actually feel a little mixed about shrek coming to bway, on one hand it's wonderful to have ANYTHING opening right now as things are closing left and right (spamalot, legally blonde, title of show, hairspray, spring awakening, xanadu, a tale of two cities, grease, my beloved gypsy is closing in march....the list goes on, several of those were not so great and deserved to close, but most of them really didn't) and many upcoming shows are delaying their openings but the fact that it's "shrek the musical" is a little disheartening. it just is more of the "disney-fication" (yes, yes i know it's technically dreamworks) that is becoming more and more what broadway is these days. of the 4 new musicals nominated for "best musical" this year, only "in the heights" remains open...sorry about the bway ramble, enjoy the link!
