I'll admit, I had a huge smile on my face all the way through The Music Man that had little to nothing to do with the production itself. You see, I'm a nerd and a theatre kid in my thirties, and to that demographic, there was a cultural phenomenon just as big as Monty Python and Star Trek were to Gen X. I refer, of course, to the legendary ABC comedy variety show, Whose Line Is It Anyway. Seeing Charles Esten (who you may recall by his improv-era stage name Chip Esten) appear onstage and flash that memorable toothy grin for the first time, I felt like I was transported back to fifth grade again. This was just the first pleasure in an altogether lovely evening of theatre: the artistic equivalent of a good old-fashioned picnic.

DreamWorks has confirmed that Shrek 5, the long-awaited fifth installment in the popular animation franchise, is coming to theaters on July 1, 2026. Original cast members Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz are all set to reprise their roles as Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona, respectively.
