Prepare to say goodbye to Princess Fiona and your favorite donkey. We hoped it might have the staying power of Disney’s Mary Poppins or The Lion King, but alas, DreamWorks’ first foray into Broadway, Shrek the Musical, announced today that it will close on January 3rd, after playing a little over a year. The decision doesn’t come as a huge surprise; as New York magazine reported today, the show has lost more than 1 million dollars since Labor Day.
We were big fans of the big budget production; though its songs weren’t super memorable, its over-the-top set and hilarious, raucous characters sure were. Our suggestion: Treat your kids to the spectacle before it’s too late! You’ll find a great deal here.
