Shrek set to become Broadway star
Shrek, the tale of a loveable green ogre, was one of the biggest movies of the last several years. And its sequel was equally successful. So what is left to conquer?
Broadway, says Sam Mendes, the British director of the Oscat winning American Beauty and creative producer of the upcoming stage version of Shrek.
Workshops of the musical will be held sometime in 2005, according to Mendes, whose Scamp Film and Theatre, will co-produce the musical, along with DreamWorks, which did the movies. No timetable has been set for the Broadway opening.
