Musical fans have all been waiting for this show to open for a little over a year. The Prince of Egypt will definitely not disappoint them.
The show is made up of everything you need to make it unforgettable, no wait, phenomenal! Stephen SCHWARTZ and Philip LAZEBNIK to whom we can respectively thank for Wicked and Mulan or Pocahontas, now give us a new intensely captivating masterpiece.
Faced with a minimalist set composed only of a strip of desert and a dozen stone blocks, we are amazed by the exceptional scenography proposed in The Prince of Egypt. It’s just magic. Special effects combined with visual effects will take your breath away. So when the Hebrews find themselves facing the Red Sea, it is much more than the sea that will open before you… We will not tell you more but you will be totally immersed!
You will be touched by the beauty of the choreography which fits the setting in suave and enchanting dances with incomparable grace. Dancers are sublime in the excellent lighting which reminds us of the Crazy Horse in Paris. It has the same aestheticism and a touch of eroticism that is accessible to all generations. This is a particularity that should be emphasised as reaching such a level by also reaching young audiences is a feat.
« Deliver Us » sets the tone for a quality book and original soundtrack, however, it is « When you believe » begins that something truely magical happens. A pleasant thrill runs through you every time the song – immortalised by Mariah CAREY and Whitney HOUSTON – begins. It is first sung by Christine ALLADO (Tzipporah) and Alexia KHADIME (Miriam) who, together, draw you in immediately. Don’t be surprised if you are reduced to tears from all the emotion especially when the song is sung by the entire cast in Hebrew.
As for Luke BRADY (Moses), it is a blessing each time he sings. He never holds back and yet never overprowering. A masterful, convincing and lively actor.
The Prince of Egypt is a poetic, choreographic, musical and vocal showpiece that goes beyond all expectations..
Synopsis
