WORTH NOTING:
In order to bring attention to local productions of merit at theaters that are not on the Cleveland Critics Circle’s approved Equity Theater list, members of the Circle who attend a community or educational theater production that is perceived as of high quality will have the option of listing that production on the CCC blogsite. These review(s) fall into that category.

CAPSULE JUDGMENT: SHREK THE MUSICAL is a green-tastic script, with a strong score. It’s moral is to accept others for who they are, rather than judging them by their appearance. It teaches self-acceptance, finding your own true self, and the importance of friendship and love that embraces your quirks and imperfections. Be aware that this is a stage show and children who have seen the movie may be expecting more gimmicks than will appear on stage.

If you are looking for a fun holiday show to take the family without the word “Carol” or “Story” in the title this is a safe bet. The extremely talented cast will have you laughing at the jokes and nodding at the message that all creatures have value. It is time well spent seeing live theater as a family unit and it is what happy memories are built from.
