On the other hand though, Shrek or most of the Disney stuff is known EXCLUSIVELY for the movies they're based on. Prince of Egypt though, while based on an animated movie, is the well-known biblical epic of Moses, so it may well transcend its movie source and lure people in based on the source material alone. would you not just call it Moses the Musical to lure in the religious crowd? It needs something a bit zippier than that really.

Have they announced what the fifth song from the film is yet? I hope to God it's The Plagues because that's my favourite song from the film; so haunting. I might be wrong but if I recall correctly The Plagues was cut from the regional run in San Fran. Nooooo! Really? That is one of the best parts! |

It really is one of the best numbers in the film. I could swear it was omitted. I'll have to check.

I wonder with a Feb 25th opening if it will make the Olivier cut-off? It was the 19th this year I believe but changes every year.

Based on the Silicon Valley production, the choir part of 'The Plagues' remain the same ('thus saith the lord, thus saith the lord, I send a pestilence and plague, etc') but the verses between Moses and Ramases are completely different. But I've also recently seen clips of another regional production in the US, and it seems they've used the original song as heard on the film and the soundtrack. So who knows what they'll do in London  |

So who knows what they'll do in London Thanks for the info. The choir bit is definitely the most important thing I'd want carried over so that's encouraging to here (although I do love both the main parts so hopefully that remains in tact). Still going to wait for reviews for this one though because although the Denmark production looked impressive that was by a different director. |

I watched the film for the first time in years last night. If this is done well, it’s going to be incredible. Hope it makes full use of the Dominion stage.

I find this even more exciting than the revival of Mary Poppins or hairspray! Finally some original work! (Even though based off the movie) this is will be fully fledged musical which hopefully won’t rely on celeb casting or Michael ball lol. There’s s massive cult following behind this, I told some mates up in provincial Yorkshire on a trip last week and they nearly wet themselves. Everyone just wants to hear deliver us!! Will this be in time for the Oliviers 2020? Would make very interesting year!? Best new musical- Dear Evan Hansen Prince of Egypt ...:what else |

It’s right on the border of whether or not it will fall into this years eligibility. I would think it will and that’s probably why the producers have chosen that opening date.
Peter Polycarpou as Jethro anyone?

On sale today.
Pricing reasonable at a first glance, £69.50 for majority of stalls during previews, increasing to £75.00 and £79.50 after press night. Stalls Row D is closest to stage available at present and will probably sell fast @ £69.50 as rows E and F are a whopping £139.50.
I'm in two minds whether to grab a row D seat now or wait in the hope that A-C will be added later. Any thoughts ?

Maybe A-C will be dayseats/lottery/whatever?
They didn't need to tear out rows for Bat's incredible stage set, so I don't see any reason why the rows would need to go for Prince of Egypt. I also don't think this will be selling out quickly, so personally I'd wait for both Rows A-C to appear more cheaply, for dayseats to be announced and generally for the ludicrous premium seats to start discounting.

Good advice. However I've booked centre aisle seat D22 at a preview for just £65 and one of my family will take that seat if I can get the front row later.
The back three rows of the stalls and circle are also modestly priced at between £19.50 and £29.50.

I am not familiar with the movie what part will Carrie H Fletcher get?
Actually any casting thoughts (though I still think Carrie will be in it).

Casting is a tough one...I thought perhaps someone like Sabrina Aloueche or Blythe Jandoo for Tzipporah and Maiya Quansah-Breed for Miriam perhaps?

Ramin has aged out of the part. Moses and Ramses.will be played by younger men who deal with pressures of leading their own people. Basically both of them will be adulting throughout the evening and each becoming his own man.

Baz was shooting from the hip about the Prince of Egypt today. He comments how "hardly anyone knows... and fewer seem to care" that the musical is opening in London next year, claims that "it's not making much headway at the box office", and reveals that "Friends who saw it told me they'd rather spend three hours in an Egyptian sand storm than sit through it again." Ouch. It's the second article on the page at www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7215297/BAZ-BAMIGBOYE-Stephen-Sondheims-lights-West-End.html. |

I wonder if he'd be saying the same if he'd been given the exclusive? Or waxing lyrical about it at every opportunity?
I have started to see him in a different light recently unfortunately.

He's a hack and a mouthpiece for favoured producers. Nothing new there.
