Ah, spring. That time of year when little green things are popping up out of the ground and the air is filled with a fresh, clean scent.
Unless – of course – you happen to be hanging around NYC’s Broadway Theatre. In this part of town, the only green things that you’ll find are ogres. And as for the scent in the air … The less said, the better.

Anywho … “Shrek the Musical” has been playing on Broadway for three months plus now. And demand for tickets (to be specific, for tickets to this show’s weekend performances) has become so strong that this DreamWorks Theatricals production recently adjusted its performance schedule.

So now through May 31st, the revised version of “Shrek the Musical” ‘s performance schedule reads as follows. This Broadway show will be presented on:
Mind you, the folks at DreamWorks Theatrical anticipate that demand for seats to all performances of “Shrek the Musical” will really pick up shortly. What with today’s release of the original cast recording of this new Broadway musical.
To help promote the release of this new Decca Broadway recording, “Shrek” stars Brian d'Arcy James and Sutton Foster will be putting in an appearance at the Columbus Circle Borders tomorrow evening. Where they’ll be joined by several of their “Shrek the Musical” co-stars for a signing of this new CD.
Among the cast members who are expected to be on hand for this “Shrek the Musical” signing (which – FYI – is scheduled to get underway at 6 p.m. Wednesday night) are Daniel Breaker (who plays Donkey in the show), Christopher Sieber (Lord Farquaad) and John Tartaglia (Pinocchio).
For further information on tomorrow evening’s signing, please visit Borders.com. The Columbus Circle Borders is located within the Time Warner Center at 10 Columbus Circle.
As for the show itself … Tickets for “Shrek the Musical” are now on sale through August 30, 2009. For further information on times, dates and prices, please check out the show’s official website.
