'Shrek the Musical': Tough times for ogres
chicagotribune.com: "After the costly cannons have exploded with confetti, the smelly green ogres have discovered that true beauty lies within and the desperate-to-please-its-multiple-constituencies 'Shrek the Musical' has drawn to its exhausting close, the Broadway Theatre suddenly feels like Times Square with a hangover, on the morning of a worrisome New Year's Day. Even five minutes after the show, that excessive party with all those colorful favors feels like it was actually over sometime last year."

"After the costly cannons have exploded with confetti"
I wonder if this reporter actually knows how much the confetti cannons cost? I doubt it.
I know how much they cost, I helped order them.
I find it amusing that out of all the costly things in this show the reporter picked one of the cheaper things to pick on.
Besides the confetti cannons into the audience were only for opening night.
