"How, I Wonder, Does She Pee?"

So I've been in an unproductive mood today so I thought, 'Why shouldn't I post two posts today?' So I will!
 
 
 
Shrek The Musical landed on Broadway back in 2008 and lasted a little more than a year until it closed, maintaining the majority of its Seattle cast (one of the production's biggest roles, Donkey, changed actors in the transition to Broadway). The show (which follows the  plot of the 2001 film Shrek) tells the story of an ogre named Shrek as he embarks on a journey with a faithful Donkey to obtain his swamp back from the other fairy tale characters by rescuing Princess Fiona, who is the bride of Lord Farquaad (he also originally moved the other fairy tale creatures onto Shrek's swamp). The show discusses themes of self-acceptance and finding true love in the most unlikely of people.

If you own Netflix, I highly recommend you watch the high-definitional recording of it― Brian d'Arcy and Sutton Foster are phenomenal and the guys playing Donkey, Lord Farquaad and Pinocchio are hilarious and outstanding!
 
One song I definitely recommend you listen to is "I Know It's Today". This song is sung in Princess Fiona's flashback (you have to watch the show to know what I'm talking about) and it's Princess Fiona (as a child, teenager and adult) counting the days until she is going to be rescued by her knight in shining armor. It's one of my favorite songs and if I could perform it by myself, I definitely would!
