The Prince of Egypt
You adored the 1998 classic DreamWorks animated film, The Prince of Egypt, with its fabulous show tunes and wonderful story. Now you're in for another big treat. The movie has been transformed into a beautifully-adapted stage musical which premiered in Silicon Valley, thrilled Denmark, and is set to be a whopper of a hit at the magnificent Dominion Theatre. The fun kicks off in early February 2020, and there's going to be a glittering, star-studded London premiere on 25th February. You have a short run of just 32 weeks, a small window of opportunity to enjoy this splendid show.
DreamWorks Theatricals is part of the Universal Theatrical Group, and they've worked with Michael McCabe and Neil Laidlaw to create this awesome stage experience. Stephen Schwartz created the music for the movie, of course, and has also penned 10 new tunes for the stage show, which you'll experience along with several of the original tunes. Philip LaZebnik, whose work on Mulan and Pocahontas also thrilled millions of people, wrote the book. Scott Schwartz directs, the man responsible for the smash hit The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Last but never least, we have the talented Sean Cheesman to thank for the choreography. He helped to bring the smash hit US TV talent show So You Think You Can Dance to life, and like all the rest he has a marvellous reputation. It's going to be great!

PRINCE OF EGYPT Absolutely stunning! Singing superb! Staging & special effects out of this world! A great production, not to be missed!
Linda, 09 Jan 2022
Stunning show that doesn’t deserve to stop !!!! Stunning show. Fantastic cast, actors, singers dancers. Rarely the ensemble is so fantastic. Great musicians !!!! This musical tells a great story of life. Family is the most important thing. Songs are magical. Actors bring their performance with so much passion, you believe the story is true, and is happening in front of you.
This musical is not magical but EPIC !!!

Energetic show. All cast seemed to be giving 100%. Must be incredibly fit.
Paula, 06 Jan 2022
Production good sound bad The general production was really good but the individual voice sounds were very poor. The dancing was outstanding . The story was ok but not authentic. The liberation of Israel in Biblical text stands up very well without tinkering. But we were glad we had seen it.
David, 01 Jan 2022
Amazing experience We treated our 19 year old daughter to this play and ended up enjoying every minute of it. This was well organised and entry was swift and quick despite covid rules Nd checks. Really worth the money and the time.

Historial bible story The story of Moses from his babyhood to older age was well depicted and as accurate as is usually portrayed to the church going public. I was impressed by the whole production and felt at the end that I wanted to see it again, so have rebooked.

Not worth the effort Seats very uncomfortable..not enough leg space
Avoid if you can't manage stairs

Lovely show This was excellent night out, good location and really good performance by all ****

Disappointed I thought the parting of the sea could have been better if it had been played in the opposite direction Not a show I would see twice. I thought a lot of the effects could have been done better. I thought the production at the end where the sea parts was done the wrong way round. Moses should have taken his people towards the back of the stage instead of into the auditorium. It just seemed the wrong way round to me.
David, 11 Dec 2021
Beautiful musical I enjoyed a lot the musical, was amazing really well done everything!
Pablo, 10 Dec 2021
Magnificent ,brilliant, spectacular performance in a nice Theatre. We have never seen this show previously, and and we did not know what to expect.
It was beyond all imagination.
The cast was just perfect, their voice, the appearance .... we are just adored it.
We will definitely watch it again, we recommend this show for everyone over 10 years old.
Thank you for this memorable evening!!!

MILTON, 05 Dec 2021
enjoyed a lot, but it was to loud. Music was very nice. The actors are professional. Their voices are perfect. The dancers are professional. Lighting was perfect. But the sounds were to loud.
Zita, 04 Dec 2021
Fantastic show Go to see it! Everything about it was amazing
Rebecca, 03 Dec 2021
Misleading storyline Everything was exceptional- the actors, lighting, music etc, they did an amazing job. However I did expect it to be more true to the story of Moses in the Bible and the story that is reflected in the film. I was disappointed at the ending and the way the story had been completely changed. I had been planning to bring a large group to come and see it together but the ending has made me have second thoughts.
Rhea, 01 Dec 2021
Stunning A stunning piece of musical theatre I was totally gripped from start to finish. The staging is wonderful, I would recommend this show to anyone young and old.
myles, 28 Nov 2021
Gotta See this one .. Epic show. You need to watch this show. I had goosebumps while listening to all the original songs, also some added songs too. Everything was put right together, i didnt want it to end. I would go watch it again 100%. What they say is right "its not Big its Epic" ??
Hardit, 28 Nov 2021

Great affects and staging Enjoyed the staging effects. Unique and original and unexpected. Also good performance and singing,
Shushila, 25 Nov 2021
Amazing visuals, loved it ! Loved it , was very creative. I just wished the story was more in depth. However this would be very difficult to get it all into the time. Was very entertaining and colourful. Loved the music. Only complaint really is that it was so cold...would have enjoyed it more if the air con was not blasting cold air and was told no hot drinks on sale ? Wrap up if going .
Bijal, 24 Nov 2021

Anna, 21 Nov 2021
A must see - not only for fans of the old animated Movie Großartige Choreographie, sehr phantasievolle Inszenierung, tolle Musik. Vor allem das Bühnenbild und die großartigen Tänzerinnen und Tänzer sind atemberaubend.
Lars, 19 Nov 2021
Breath taking If your elderly or slow at walking take my advice and give yourself plenty of time, not only are you shown to your seats you can get yourself comfortable then take in the beautiful surroundings.Take a tissue.preorder drinks ect very good service. Sit back and watch a outstanding show every performer gave 100%.
Susan, 18 Nov 2021

One of the best musicals I've seen Absolutely stunning!
Giulia, 18 Nov 2021
Stunning Visuals ! Biblical story taken in a very humorous way catering to all theatre goers urrelevant of the religious theme . Visual effects stunning !
parveen, 17 Nov 2021
Great experience The show was amazing, we had stall row G, great view.
Disappointing side - we paid alot of money for our seats and because the theatre was not full, loads of people from the back came all the way forward to sit in the empty seats. Fair play to them, but where I had to pay alot more extra and for the theatre to allow this, was a piss take!
I could have just done the same with my children and had a small purchase price to!
Jade, 17 Nov 2021
Must see Fantastic show, very impressive, great talents
Ivanna, 15 Nov 2021

Piotr, 14 Nov 2021
Fantastic Very very good play I like the finally… when the Red Sea was divided… so wonderful
Florence, 13 Nov 2021
Singing Sound system was it clear enough when actors singing to understand what was being said last of the time , so you only get half the story
Jon, 13 Nov 2021
Nice Good production!
Susan, 12 Nov 2021
Super amazing show!! One of the best so far!! I loved it and my mum loved it too even if she doesn’t speak English she know the story of Moses so she understood and admired the show!
Arianna, 12 Nov 2021
Cast shadows the stars A bit too long. Dancing parts were excellent. Singing part inconsistent. Ladies actresses out performed their fellow mail stars. Yochebed, Zipora and Miriam were excellent. Jathro rocks.
Bentzi, 10 Nov 2021
Amazing Everything was great I just wish they kept Moses original story
Tai, 06 Nov 2021
Amazing show! The show was incredible.
Omri, 06 Nov 2021
Love this adaptation! I never would have thought I would see a musical adaptation of the Prince of Egypt. It has absolutely exceeded my expectations! I loved the singing, the interpretation of each scene, and the acting. My only critique is that I wish it had a longer season! :) Biggest congratulations to everyone involved! I would see it again! <3

Absolutely spectacular! I attended the show with a friend visiting London. We didn't know what to expect but were absolutely stunned by the actor's performance, costumes, music and choreography.

Exceptional Three times in two weeks,can't/won't stop going!
Tonia, 21 Sep 2021
Phenomenal Phenomenal. From tears in your eyes to goosebumps on your neck and the overwhelming urge to sing at the top of your voice and stand up and dance along. Blown away, really one of the best shows to see!
Clara, 10 Sep 2021
Fantastic I took my daughter to this for her 21st birthday because she watched the Dreamworks animated version so often when she was young! It was brilliant, with some of the best vocalists we have ever heard in a show. The only downside was the musical version omitted ‘Playing with Big Boys now’ which we agree was one of the best original songs. However, as a whole, would absolutely recommend this show, which quite rightly received a standing ovation.
Tinu, 22 Aug 2021
Absolutely epic My favourite part of the whole show was the infectious and emotional music. Fun in places and also a bit tearful at times. Please be warned that there is a lot of special effects used that some audience members might adversely react to.
Steven, 16 Aug 2021
Exceed my expectations An excellent show, delighted. Exceed my expectations. Love every moment. I am still singing "If you believe".
