ok.. and the musical i'm gonna intro today is.... that's right.. SHERK THE MUSICAL!!! never heard of it huh?
Well, let's say if you're not in the states thn there a high chance that you'll have no idea that there is a Musical version of Sherk. We all know the show Sherk, 1,2,3 and 4. And we all know that the 4th show is the last, but the musical is simply.. AMAZING!!! it even got nominated for a tony award in 2009 (didn't win cause billy eliot took almost everything last year) anyway, it's truly wonderful. The story's basically based on the first show, with all your fav. characters like Sherk, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Lord Farquad and of cause, the lovely Pinocchio.
the story is exactly as what you get in the first show, only with a touch of musical sensation in it! With songs like Big Bright Beautiful World, Morning Person, the Ballad of Farquad and yes, who could forget the most amazing song sung by all the fairy tale creatures, FREAK FLAG! Adding on its amazing special effects put together on stage, this truly is a remarkable musical.
And how did i get to know this musical?? John tartaglia of cause.. LOL! yes i know.. i'm starting to fall in love with this 32 year old gay dude, this guy is just so talented! anyway, he plays the role of Pinocchio, the so call "leader of the fairy tale creatures", but he too plays parts like the magic mirror as well does all the puppetry work in the show, including the big dragon! yes.. the huge dragon is controlled by him... isn't it AWESOME?? Suton Foster, who plays the role of princess fiona, is also another one amazing actress on stage! yes she is!!! she just brings the whole musical to laughter! now we all know that fiona's not your typical ordinary princess, the Foster just plays the role so well!
The entire musical is filled with joy and laughter, with a moral line to it "just be yourself, and people will accept for who you are, cause everyone.. is a FREAK!" so LET YOUR FREAK FLAG FLY PEOPLE! RAISED THAT FLAG WAY UP HIGH!
And now.. here's a song from the musical "FREAK FLAG" you can try seraching the off broadway version of this musical on u tube... the broadway version isn't there though.. so sad.. anyway.. still love this song!
