The current national tour of Shrek the Musical features something that didn’t appear in the Broadway production: a new song, titled “Forever.” On Wednesday, a performance video of the song was released on the musical’s facebook page. See the link below to watch the video (and see the enormous dragon puppet featured in the stage show)!
Shrek features music by Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie) and book by David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole). The original Broadway production ran from December 2008 to January 2010, snagging numerous Tony nominations, but only one win (Costume Design).
