It's Hard Being Ugly On Broaway, Except For Shrek

Seems like a trend. Once a movie's fame has decreased then Broadway takes over and turns it into a play. Shrek (the movie) is now Shrek: The Musical. How witty of them! Seems like that's all they do these days. Producer thinks, "I'm not creative enough to write my own play, so let's just take someone else's plot from a movie and put it on Broadway." Even though Shrek isn't cute in the movie (I mean come on he's an ogre), wait til you see him in the Broadway version. Seems like kids will be scared of the green ogre when they see him on stage. It seems some people do like the play, but they're the same people that enjoyed The Little Mermaid the Musical. I mean without such great voices as Mike Meyers (Shrek), Cameron Diaz (Princess Fiona), and Eddie Murphy (Donkey) what else is there to enjoy. Yay, an ugly ogre dancing around on stage played by Brian d'Arcy James (who the hell is he?) sounds like a great time.
