Making Ogre Broadway
In a broadcast devoted to an in-depth look at one Broadway show, our guests are the creative team behind Shrek The Musical — Book writer and Lyricist David Lindsay-Abaire, Producer Bill Damaschke, Director Jason Moore, Producer Caro Newling and Composer Jeanine Tesori. Highlights of the discussion centered on how the team was chosen; the development process that led Shrek to Broadway; how material from both the book and movie guided them in shaping the musical; how they approached taking the story to another level; striking a balance in making the show appealing to both children and adults; what they used, or didn’t use, from producers’ notes; and some of the technical “secrets” used to create the musical.
