Now starring as the title role in the NETworks produced 2nd National Tour of SHREK THE MUSICAL, recent University of the Arts grad Lukas Poost recently chatted with BroadwayWorld's Michael Lawrence Quintos to talk about his past influences and his greeny-fied alter ego in the relaunched tour (which continues its two-week engagement at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts through October 16).

Like a warm Snuggie on a cold winter night or a decadent dessert to a calorie counter, sometimes we all just want to cater to our own basest pleasure centers that simply crave comforting, entertaining shows full of good ol' plain, silly fun. This same idea explains why macaroni and cheese makes for a great combo... why the excitingly mindless 'Summer Movie' was invented... and why SHREK THE MUSICAL made me laugh for most of its two-and-a-half-hour running time. Now playing at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts through October 16, this amusing, big-kid-friendly musical based on the popular 2001 DreamWorks animated film delivers the laughs not with beguiling snark but, rather, with fart battles, cheeky sight gags, and a sassy attitude that intermittently seeks to distract you from its flaws. Entertaining, yes, but hardly groundbreaking.

The national tour of "Shrek the Musical," in all its gassy green glory, opened Broadway San Jose's new season and captivated the audience from start to finish. Hilariously funny and heart-warming, "Shrek's" musical message about friendship, love and acceptance, delivered with the story's trademark unconventional quirkiness, soared.
