END NOTES
There are so me subtle and no t-so -subtle references to numero us Bro adway musicals and
sho ws in Shrek the Musical. Ho w many can yo u hear and spo t? See if yo u can catch the no ds
to Gypsy, Rent, Miss Saigo n, Chicago , Wicked, The Lio n King, Dreamgirls and an ho mage to
Bo b Fo sse.
It to o k o ver five weeks wo rking Mo nday to Saturday, (and so me Sundays to o ), to build Drago n.
The heaviest part o f her is her head. Her lip co lo r is "candy apple red".
There are 234 light dimmers, (each are 1.2 kilo watts), fo r the Main Stage. 39 o f them co ntro l the
lights that are o n while the audience enters and leaves the theater. We have used every single
o ne o f the o ther 19 5. They are co ntro lling 6 par can lights,15 cyc lights, 33 parnels and 56
leko s, and 10 0 strip lights. The mo ving lights are a beast o n their o wn no t run by o ur dimmers.
The seven o f them eat up 175 channels!
We have used almo st 40 0 feet o f stage 3 pin extensio n co rds.
A regular ho useho ld bulb is, o n average, 40 -6 0 watts. We use everthing fro m 50 watt halo gen
bulbs to 10 0 0 watt quartz bulbs in o ur cyc lights. There are 15,0 0 0 watts aimed at the cyc
alo ne, (the cyc is that giant drape o f white material at the back o f the stage which is never
actually left white.
We've given Fio na so me interesting reading material to keep her busy in her to wer fo r the 8 523
days she's spent in there. Mo st o f the titles are to ngue in cheek, making reference to her first
so ng in the sho w. They include "So , Yo u're Bipo lar", "Chamber Po ts - a Guide" and "Ho w to
Bo wl".
Every year we make sure that we give o ur directo r a no d by hiding her name so mewhere o n
the set. This year, we've given her a bo o k in Fio na's library entitled "Wo es o f the Waal". Given
the wild year o ur vo cal directo r has experienced, we've given tribute to her in the fo rm o f a
bo o k o n the shelf as well entitled "Cush's Crisis".
Fo r every perfo rmance, we will use 25 po unds o f ice to make lo w lying fo g.
It takes Shrek o ver an ho ur to get ready fo r each sho w.
"I'm a Believer" was written by Neil Diamo nd in 19 6 6 . Since then it has o fficially been reco rded
fo r 26 o ther albums including bo th the animated feature, Shrek, (perfo rmed by the gro up
Smashmo uth), as well as the o riginal Bro adway cast reco rding fo r Shrek the Musical. Neil
Diamo nd himself reco rded a slo wed do wn mo re acco ustic versio n o f the so ng fo r his o wn
20 10 album, "Dreams"
