"I know its Today...oooooooo....." I love waking up and having this song in my head. I love the ray of hope it gives along not to mention the catchy tune.

I had a fantastic time when I went to see Shrek the Musical last month. I thought the music was great and varied and the lyrics were quite witty.

I was a huge fan of the set and costume design - it looked as if the swamp and all of the fairytale creatures had popped right off the screen and onto the stage.

I loved the guy who played Shrek, and Sutton Foster was amazing and funny as usual.

The show did have its week points but overall I had a great time at the theater and more importantly my nephew enjoyed the show.

Great interview!

I saw Shrek on Broadway last month and had a really great time. The writers had a tough job in adapting a well-known film to the stage, and they did a much better job than other recent screen-to-stage musicals at striking a balance between paying homage to the movie while creating an original work. Kudos!

Rabbit Hole was one of the worst plays I have ever seen. Poor, melodramatic writing that lacked specificity or depth. I was horrified when it won a Pulitzer - it would seem that just like the academy awards, perhaps the pulizers are dumbing down too. Great plays don't manipulate your emotions and steer you towards melodrama - they allow the inherent emotion of situations to work on you, to your own emotional response. The good parts? The kid with a very small part at the end of the play - as well as Tyne Daly - I'd watch her read a phone book.

If Next To Normal can be a musical, why not Rabbit Hole?

Please, Leonard. We rely upon your judgment. This play is a rehash, almost word for word, of the movie, which is funnier. The worst waste of money that one can experience in the theater.
