CORDEN LINED UP FOR SHREK STAGE SHOW
British TV star JAMES CORDEN is slated for the role of SHREK when the hit Broadway musical moves to the U.K.
The award-winning funnyman, who appears in BBC comedy Gavin and Stacey, is lined-up to play the loveable ogre when Kate Winslet’s director husband Sam Mendes takes the show to London’s West End next year (09).
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Shrek’s a sell-out on Broadway and the producers are after a larger-than-life star for the U.K. transfer. James has everything - great comic timing and a good voice too."
