Some of the special effects they do in this musical, I don't get. They actually have Lord Farquaad with little bitty legs like in the animated version. Anyway, the story is basically the same as Shrek, just add the music. They show Fiona through the years, held in a tower guarded by a dragon waiting for her prince to come. I like this song.
YOUNG FIONA,
(Spoken)
Settle in girls. It's story time! Isn't this fun?
It's like a sleep over,
but instead of a pillow fight, there is an insane dragon who incenterates things. Now where were we? Oh right?
(Sung)
There's a princess In a tower
Oh my gosh, that's just like me
Poor Rapunzel Needs a haircut
But the witch won't set her free
She passes time by singing
Like someone else I know
As years go by she sits and waits?
As years go by' Uh oh A torturous existence
I don't remember this part!
She wishes she were dead Skip ahead skip ahead!
But in the end Rapunzel finds a millionaire
The prince is good at climbing and braiding golden hair!
So I know, he'll appear
Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight
My white knight, and his steed
Will look just like these pictures!
It won't be long now, I guarantee!
Day number'23. I know its today
I know its today
TEENSAGE FIONA:
(Spoken)
Oh here's a good one! It's a classic!
(Sung)
There's a princess In a coma
Glad its her instead of me. Pretty maiden
In a glass box How I wonder does she pe?
Blah blah blah, poison apple
Boring boring evil queen
Filler filler, been there, read that!
Seven shorties on the scene.
Skip ahead, skip ahead'
But in the end the princess wakes up with a start
The prince is good at kissing
And melting Snow White's heart!
So I know, he'll appear
And his armor will be blinding!
As shining as his perfect teeth And then repose
He'll propose On one knee
And our prenupt will be binding!
About time we set the wedding date!
Day number'958.
I know it's today. He'll show up today....
FIONA:
...ay...
There's a princess Any princess
Take your pick, they're all like me
Not exactly, I'm still waiting
they're living happily
Ever after better get here
I want love in seconds flat
No one needs these middle bits
Oops, did I do that'
Cut the villains, cut the vamping
Cut this fairytale
Cut the peril and the pitfalls
Cut the puppet and the whale
Cut the monsters, cut the curses
Keep the intro, cut the verses
And the waiting, the waiting, the waiting, the waiting
The waiting!
But I know, he'll appear
Though I seem a bit bipolar
And I'm a vandal now as well, though he won't mind
I'm a find, I'm a catch
And a very gifted bowler!
It won't be long now, I guarantee!
Day number'
Are you there God?
It's me Fiona
ALL FIONAS:
It's me Fiona!
Now I know, he'll appear
Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight
My white knight, my knight and his steed
Will look just like these pictures!
It won't be long now, I guarantee!
YOUNG FIONA
Day number 23
TEENAGE FIONA
Day number 958
FIONA:

YOUNG FIONA
I know its today, oooo
TEENAGE FIONA

I Know it's today
ALL FIONAS,

This is a show about accepting who you are, which all the fairy creatures must do to confront Farquaad. Breaking down walls, which Donkey helps Shrek do, and true love. It is fun. And did you know Farquaad is the son of Grouchy the dwarf?
