Ex-Damn Arbor editor, and current my spouse, Erika Jost, choreographed Young People's Theater's production of Shrek the Musical. The show runs Friday through Sunday at the Power Center. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students and children.
Jost is known for her dynamic ensemble work and Berkeley-esque showmanship. Shrek, will, no doubt, deliver. This is her second time choreographing a production of this outstanding show. The first was almost a decade ago so it will be exciting to see how Jost has grown as an artist in the intervening years.
When I asked "how has your approach to choreography evolved since the last time your worked on Shrek?" Jost responded "I've been in the theater to 11 every night this week. Please, just tell people to see the show."
All kidding aside, if you are looking for a fun show to see with the kids this weekend, take them to Shrek. The musical is tremendously fun, with rousing numbers like Who I'd Be and Story of my Life. It's hard to beat a nice spring show at the Power Center and YPT always delivers.
