If Disney can dominate the West End with stage adaptations of its musical movies, then why not Dreamworks? The Disney rival is planning a Broadway version of Shrek, to be coordinated by Sam Mendes and directed by Jason Moore, who was nominated for a Tony award this year for puppet musical Avenue Q
Confirming his involvement in the project, Moore told reporters last week: "There's a supreme challenge in bringing an animated world to the stage and making it theatrical. But what's so wonderful about Shrek is that anarchic attitude placed in a fairy-tale world that I think will thrive onstage".
