Playbill "has learned" (I love it when they get all insidery) that comic Stephen Kramer Glickman is playing Shrek in the today's workshop, with Robert L. Daye Jr. as Donkey, Celia Keenan-Bolger as Princess Fiona, and Christopher Sieber as Lord Farquaad. Again, good casting, especially Celia and The Seiber.
I hear that Spring Awakening's Brian Johnson is playing one of the three little piggies in the Shrek workshop. So cute! So cute!
Also, if you're curious, Jason Moore (Ave Q) is directing, with book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire (has he done lyrics before? he wrote the book of High Fidelity, but not the lyrics) and music by Jeanine Tesori (Millie, Caroline, or Change).
I'm not all about turning cartoons about animals and mythical creatures into fully staged musicals, but I'd be first in line to see Brian with a twirly tail.
Which reminds me...
Spider pig, spider pig, does whatever a spider pig does.
