Free Music as Broadway Advertising

Shrek The Musical Offers "I Know It's Today"

Nothing grabs the attention of people faster than the prospect of free stuff. That is why the producers of Shrek The Musical are offering a legal free download of one of the songs from the musical.

The producers are hoping that after downloading the song "I Know It's Today," you will love it so much that you'd decide to buy tickets and see the musical on Broadway.

The song is performed by Leah Greenhaus, Marissa O'Donnell & Sutton Foster.

Shrek The Musical is the first solid venture of Dreamworks into theater under its DreamWorks Theatricals label. Written by David Lindsay-Abaire and composed by Jeanine Tesori, the musical is based on the first installment of the popular Shrek movies, and on William Steig's book 'Shrek!'
