The Swampy Sounds of Shrek: A Musical Review

This is the emotional anchor of Act I. It’s a soaring power ballad where Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona all express their secret desires to be something more than what the world sees. "Freak Flag": Shrek the musical score

3. "I Know It’s Today"

Tesori flexes her intellectual muscle here. This is a contrapuntal masterpiece where three Fionas (Young, Teen, Adult) sing simultaneously about waiting for their prince. Young Fiona sings a plucky, optimistic melody in 4/4. Teen Fiona sings a sarcastic, aggressive rock riff. Adult Fiona (Sutton Foster) sings a soaring, aching ballad. When they harmonize at the end, it’s a literal representation of trauma and hope coexisting. This is the crown jewel of the Shrek the Musical score. The Swampy Sounds of Shrek: A Musical Review
