Shrek The Musical Did'nt Meet Expectations, Feb 14, 2012

reviewer: Annoyed Disappointed Anonymous from UK

Went to watch Shrek The Musical recently and was
expecting a 5star perfomance. Shrek came across as
the character should be and had a very strong
singing voice,Fiona (Kimberley Walsh) apart from
the terrible accent did her best to try and depict
the
character as it should be. As for Donkey he was a
real let down,waste of time and should be
replaced! His voice was croaky,he seemed
distracted and instead of coming across as 'Eddie
Murphy' he was more 'Chris Tucker' and in scenes
where paired up with Shrek he didn't seem as funny
as he should have been let alone hitting the right
singing notes. If anything this is a show for
those with children and I personally would'nt
recommend it to any adults. Richard Blackwood
needs to stick to what he knows best stand-up or
whatever he's into these days.

Success for Shrek!, Jul 21, 2012

reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555

I thoroughly enjoyed the matinee performance of
Shrek I was lucky enough to attend. My only
complaint would be that on a few occasions I found
it difficult to hear some of what the actors were
saying, but apart from that I think it was very much
worth the cost of a ticket.
I do feel sorry for Neil McDermott having to crawl
around on his knees for most of the performance, and
I found Richard Blackwell as Donkey very funny.

Good but richard Blackwood looked bored!, Feb 15, 2013

reviewer: Anonymous from London,

We went to watch Shrek this Feb 2013 half term. Although the children enjoyed most of the show (Dragon and lord farquaad - amazingly funny - saved the show) Richard Blackwood as Donkey was not great.
we thought that for most of the time he looked like he was either grumpy, bored or just simply was disinterested. It was a shame because the role is so funny! He didn't do it justice.
