Shrek the Musical, which is currently playing the Broadway Theatre, has launched a ten-part on-line video series.

Entitled "This Is Our Story: Swamp to Stage," the new series "follows the cast and creative team of Broadway's newest hit musical on their journey to bring this story to life on stage," according to press notes.

The first video, entitled "Words & Music," is now available for viewing by visiting www.swamptostage.com. The first video features an interview with the writers of Shrek, lyricist-librettist David Lindsay-Abaire and composer Jeanine Tesori.

Directed by Jason Moore (Avenue Q and the Carnegie Hall Jerry Springer — The Opera), the cast features Brian d'Arcy James, the singing actor who was recently seen in the Off-Broadway musical Next to Normal, as the lovable green ogre with Passing Strange Tony nominee Daniel Breaker as Donkey, Avenue Q Tony nominee John Tartaglia as Pinocchio, Tony winner Sutton Foster (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Young Frankenstein) as Princess Fiona and Christopher Sieber (Monty Python's Spamalot) as Lord Farquaad.
