The DreamWorks "Shrek" film series has certainly become a beloved classic by children and adults alike. When it came time to adapt the piece for the Broadway stage, its producers ponied up an estimated $30 million on the production - the record holder as the most expensive Broadway production, only recently dwarfed by SPIDER-MAN TURN OFF THE DARK (now in previews) which is hovering around $65 million dollars. The show closed at a loss, and the creative team set about tweaking the property to better play in other markets.
