Shrek The Musical On DVD October 15th

I hope to receive a complimentary Shrek The Musical DVD for review.  I wanted to share this with you in advance.  

The greatest fairy tale never told comes to life as never before in

DreamWorks’ Shrek The Musical, the highly acclaimed Broadway production based on the

smash-hit movie. Called a “triumph of comic imagination” (Elysa Gardner, USA Today) that “never

stints on spectacle or laughs” (David Rooney, Variety), Shrek The Musical received eight 2009

Tony Award® nominations including Best Musical, winning Best Costume Design of a Musical

(Tim Hatley) and received a Grammy Award® nomination for Best Musical Show Album.

Featuring a fantasic score of 17 all-new songs, Shrek The Musical was filmed on stage to capture

the magic of a Broadway performance and stars an amazing celebrated cast including Brian d’Arcy

James (Shrek), Sutton Foster (Fiona), Daniel Breaker (Donkey), Christopher Sieber (Lord Farquaad),

and John Tartaglia (Pinocchio). The film was shot live on Broadway with 10 cameras and directed

by Michael Warren. Now you can bring the magic of Broadway to your home and get the best seat in

the house when the Deluxe Edition Blu-ray™ and DVD arrives on October 15th!

Fans can join in on the performance with sing along Shrek-tastic songs on the Deluxe Edition

Blu-ray™ + DVD + Digital HD™ or single-disc DVD. And the Deluxe Edition Blu-ray™ goes even

deeper into the fairytale’s journey, taking viewers behind-the-scenes to see how the show became a

smash hit that “will make your heart dance.” (Cindy Adams, The New York Post).

Shrek The Musical tells the story of a swamp-dwelling ogre who goes on a life-changing adventure

to reclaim the deed to his land. Joined by a wise-cracking donkey, this unlikely hero fights a

fearsome dragon, rescues a feisty princess and learns that real friendship and true love aren’t only

found in fairy tales.

The musical is based on the story and characters from William Steig's book Shrek!, as well as the

DreamWorks Animation film and features a book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize® winner, David

Lindsay-Abaire, music by Olivier Award-winner Jeanine Tesori, and is directed by Tony Award®

nominee Jason Moore. Shrek The Musical is produced by DreamWorks Theatricals and Neal Street

Productions, Ltd.
