Musical Theatre

It's great to have the chance to see this production. I've been fortunate to have seen two different stage productions of The Prince of Egypt - one in Silicon Valley (which I think this London one might be based on, as both were directed by Scott Schwartz, Stephen Schwartz's son), and one in Copenhagen. If the West End production is basically the Silicon Valley production with a different cast, then I think I would have preferred to see the Danish production filmed, as it was visually more spectacular. (I guess I'll find out when I see the video.) The show doesn't quite entirely work for me, for reasons I won't bother getting into, but there's a lot to commend in it, including what I think is Stephen Schwartz's best song, "When You Believe".

I had no idea this was made into a musical!
