omgosh. When I was listening to this again I found another thing that sounded familiar to me. When they said "There's no sign of slowing, we're growing, we're growing." The "There's no sign of slowing...." part is off of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory(1971)
I'm pretty sure they used the Wicked reference on the Tony Awards because when Wicked performed at the Tony Awards they did Defying Gravity, and they, Shrek, were pretty much just having fun with it.
How can they copy Wicked like that!!!!!!They better have special permission to steal the greatest song from the greatest musical ever!!!I am REALLY mad!!!:(!!!!!!
@ktachoir erm.. get over it. it's all done in fun. they don't just do one Wicked reference, they do loads of other shows. It's a spoof, it's fun, not malicious.
I have to admit, this looks okay, but I went to see the one in London, and it was much better....they got the voice spot on...this one looks okay though.
lol, that means 2 microphone cock ups in a row for the Tony awards (The mic being too loud last year ((2010)) and then the year before in Guys and Dolls when the mic failed) just thought id point out :P
@danielwills93 yeah, i can imagine :) Id hate to have to do that... his knees mustve been killing :) i had to do something like that in a pantomime i was in :)
at first i hated the idea of tainting broadway with such childish thing but this shit is pretty FUNNYYYYXD laughed the WHOLE TIME !! i like it :) and donkey sounds jst like eddie murphy
I don't see the point of involving Wicked. It wasn't funny and had nothing to do with it. Do they do that normally or did they do just for that performance?
It's Shrek... making fun/parodying famous movies and fairy tales was pretty much the point of the movie. Makes sense that in moving it to Broadway they would do the same thing to famous Broadway shows.
God, Farquuad must have had to do the entire preformance on his knees. Like in Niel's Tony Song at the end says: "Sorry, dude, that only works if you want a Golden Globe!"
o.k i am scared! i went on the Shrek website and looked at the cast list...and John isn't listed as playing Pinocchio! it is some guy named Rob. i was so looking forward to seeing John play Pinocchio now i am sad. does anyone know if this is a temporary or a permanent switch? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!
im sorry, but thats just sad
