Powerful vocals face mask, strutting, confident stage presence, and a look that seemed to channel We Will Rock You Killer Queen, added the cool to her fire.While director Martin Christie talks about having his ‘dream’ production team face mask, he must also be aware that he is in the possession of a ‘golden age’ of performers.And to the list above can be added those playing childhood and teen Shrek and Princess Fiona.In this performance, Lord Farquaad and Fiona stood out, possibly even stealing the show from Shrek and Donkey!Their comedy timing sparked off the other characters they were interacting with.Mikey McCabe’s characterisation of Shrek came over more as slightly depressed and sad, and never quite hit the continuous bad tempered, cantankerousness of the movie version but instead created a different tone, excellent in its own terms.While Paul Hume’s Donkey niggled face mask, annoyed face mask, and postured (and boy face mask, could he posture perfectly!) to tease Shrek, without the determined crankiness to feed off, this took on a different dimension.Donkey now seemed to be trying to bring Shrek out of depression rather than to provoke a smile from the grumpy ogre.This did, however, create greater early sympathy for Shrek.This ‘different from the movie’ approach was still valid, adding an additional aspect to Shrek and Donkey’s journey to true friendship.The audience bought in instantly, and this Shrek and Donkey became their believable and beloved Shrek and Donkey for the night.Shrek is one of the best resourced shows for amateur performances and the costumes were spot on, creating the fairy tale land, cartoonish ness to perfection.This is not a show where chorus members or minor principles were add ons, each cast member was make upped and costumed to the highest of.
