Life in the Theatre

Okay so I still haven’t finished my RENT review but it will be up by next Saturday.

but the other Shrek leads have been announced.

The previously rumored Paul Vogt as Shrek is not true. Shrek will be portrayed by Brian D’arcy James, Chester Gregory II will play Donkey, and John Tartaglia will be Gingy. I have not been previously introduced to the performances of James or Gregory, but I am looking forward to Tartaglia’s performance. He was quite amazing in Beauty and the Beast and Avenue Q, and I have heard how fabulous he is on Johny and the Sprites. I have also heard of James and Gregory’s greatness. I am very excited for this all-star cast but I did want Paul Vogt as Shrek. Oh well. Here is a list of the currently-announced cast.

Shrek…Brian D’arcy James

Fiona…Sutton Foster

Donkey…Chester Gregory II

Lord Farquad…Christopher Sieber

Dragon…Kecia Lewis-Evans

Gingy…John Tartaglia

This cast sounds quite good!
