Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat. And that jerk in front of you is going to give a standing ovation to a reading of the telephone book. Why bother? We give you each of your (not so)
favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

Poor Brian D'Arcy James

If he was famous, he wouldn't have to deal with this.

This is going to be the biggest flop since The Pirate Queen, the worst show since The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein, and the most unlikely movie adaptation until Spiderman.

I highly doubt that Shrek will flop anywhere near The Pirate Queen. I think it'll be running at least as long as The Color Purple did, if not longer.

I dare you to find a less inventive costume design. They're not even PRETENDING to make this show a distinct entity from the movie.

All I can say is "How far the mighty have fallen". WHY would he- and the rest of the extremely talented cast- choose to do this horror of a show?

God, does Broadway need to sink any lower? I mean, that costume looks like they bought it for $60 of a costume website! And if they are making Spiderman a musical, I think i'll shoot myself
