Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *
Cast: Dean Chisnall, Bronte Barbe, Gerard Carey, Idris Kargbo.
Here’s a statement: Shrek: The Musical is every bit as colourful, huge and – above all – funny as anything ever staged at the Liverpool Empire Theatre, with sets to die for, costumes that glitter brighter than the Christmas lights on Castle Street, choreography to make Len Goodman weep tears of joy and a cast that is quite simply sensational.
