I just got back from watching Shrek, the Musical at the Lubbock Moonlight Musicals http://www.lubbockmoonlightmusicals.org/. The woman who walked out ahead of me said they have been attending for the entire 10 years, and this was the best musical yet. I seconded the sentiment. I have not been to all of the plays, but I have been to at least one every year, including some of my most favorite musicals (I have a lot of most favorite musicals.)
Before I saw the play, I did not know what the story was. I never saw Shrek, the Movie. I know this was billed as a family play, and it was, but I suspect a lot of the word play was lost on the little kids. The couple sitting next to me "got it," but a lot of the other adults around me did not react if they "got it." How sad. There was so much "lesson" about differences in people in this play. Maybe this is a must see and discuss the lessons kind of play on one level. On another level, it was pure entertainment.
Thank you, Moonlight Musicals.
