Shrek Rehearsals Move To Leeds!!

Faye and the wonderful cast of the forthcoming Shrek UK Tour did there first full run through of the show on Wednesday. It was one of their final rehearsals before they head to Leeds for 'Tech Week'.

They've also had a character photoshoot so I'm hoping to be able to share some pictures of Faye as Princess Fiona very soon.

However, I'm actually going away for a weeks holiday tomorrow so I'm afraid you may have to wait until I get back to see the most beautiful Princess Fiona of all time. It'll be worth the wait, trust me.

Before I depart I thought I'd leave you with this video from the Shrek YouTube channel showcasing all the photos from rehearsals so far:
