SHREK THE MUSICAL Original Broadway Cast Recording CD

SHREK THE MUSICAL was recently declared a "big fat hit" by USA Today, and "true happiness" by The New York Times. The Dreamworks Theatricals and Neal Street Productions, Ltd hit show opened at the Broadway Theatre in New York City on December 14th, 2008. On March 24th, 2009, the highly anticipated Original Cast Recording will be released by Decca Broadway.

On January 12th, 2009, the entire cast of SHREK THE MUSICAL congregated at Legacy Studios in New York City to record the cast album, which captures the sheer joy and infectious appeal of this not-to-be-missed stage production. SHREK THE MUSICAL features music written by Olivier Award-winner Jeanine Tesori, (Thoroughly Modern Millie & Caroline, or Change), a book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole), and the production is directed by Tony nominee Jason Moore (Avenue Q). Jeanine Tesori also produced the cast album, along with SHREK THE MUSICAL's sound designer Peter Hylenski as the album's co-producer.

SHREK THE MUSICAL is an entirely new musical based on the story and characters from William Steig's book Shrek!, as well as the DreamWorks Animation film Shrek, the first chapter of the Shrek movie series. The show stars Tony Award nominee Brian d'Arcy James as Shrek, Tony Award winner Sutton Foster as Princess Fiona, Tony Award nominee Christopher Sieber as Lord Farquaad, Tony Award nominee Daniel Breaker as Donkey and Tony Award nominee John Tartaglia as Pinocchio, among other stellar cast members. Cast recordings don't get much better or bigger than SHREK, with 30 actors in the cast and 27 musicians in the orchestra.
