This was my first visit to the theatre since it opened in 2000,and the sense of of excitement prior to the show was palpable and continued right up to the moment i sat down, and continued throughout the show. I was hooked from right from the start when Shrek's parents send him off into the world, until that magical moment when he and Fiona recognise their true loves.The beauty of this performance is that every member of the cast is a star.I must give the dragon puppeteers a special mention as I thought they were fantastic.
I believed right from the start that Shrek and Fiona would be united, because of the quality of the cast involved, and the ensemble finale brings the show to a rip-roaring conclusion,rightly earning a standing ovation from a packed theatre. If you haven't seen it,try to get a ticket before the final show on Feb 20th as it's an absolute joy from start to finish. A proper fairy tale ending
