Trading tales of childhood woe in a sung smackdown, James Shrek takes a turn too energetically.
He lets rip a prerecorded toot heard loud as thunder through the Broadway Theatres hefty amplification system.
It stops the orchestra as well as the show, at least until Fosters Fiona answers in kind.
Within a few moments, things escalate as the lyrics become a literal gas.
(Youve been served,South Park.)
For instance, we see a 7-year-old Shrek cast out into the world by his parents.
Fine as the lead performers are, the crowning presence is Christopher Sieber as diminutive egomaniac Lord Farquaad.
Hes a Mobius strip of fatuousness, and he gets audience members giggling throughout.
