Equally divisive and funny, but in a different way

Can you readers guess what my favorite part is?

Nope, you're wrong.

It's "20s-30s." When Shrek the movie came out, Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy were both hovering around 40. If the actors in the musical are going to be in Shrek and Donkey costumes, who's going to care what age they are?

Then the casting people have the nerve to assert that "Anyone, no matter how Far Far Away, can try and audition for these roles!" No they can't. Setting aside that women can't audition for these roles, the casting people are probably going to hire Americans. Maybe Canadians if their desperate. I would love they got an actual Scotsman to play Shrek. And for Donkey, an actual burro. Maybe from Mexico. Fun!
