Shrek the Musical!!!

We got to take the boys to the opening night of Shrek the Musical at Gammage last week.  It was fun! Berk didn't quite understand the concept that it wasn't the movies, but quickly caught on.

Waiting to go in, of course opening night they raised the curtain late!

Braden & I

Rusty & Berk

Ok, so it's like the movie, it had some good songs into, but not any that made me think "I wanna buy the soundtrack." But the guy that played Lord Farquaad was so awesome. He was hilarious! And could you imagine doing the whole show on your knees?

Oh and of course Gingy was there to with his classic lines. 

The main characters had amazing voices, and I am still trying to figure out how they did the costume changes on Fiona- seriously, one minute she's all girlie, the next she's green and Shrek-y! I don't get it and I was WATCHING closely! 

But I think my hands down favorite scenes involved the dragon! This was the only photo I could find, and it did NOT do it justice. This costume involved atleast 6 men to make it fly and talk. It was beautiful! And the voice of the singer was so powerful. I was so glad at the end they brought her out (since she wasn't actually on stage singing) so we could see who she was! 

Once again, thanks to Rusty for winning all these awesome tickets! We had a blast, even if you did have to hold Berk on your lap the whole time, and even after intermission when he fell asleep...
