Dreamworks, if you're reading this, MAKE A DVD OF THIS MUSICAL ALREADY! You did it for Shrek, you need to do it for Prince of Egypt so everyone from all around can experience this Absolutely stunning show!! Edit: YESSSSSSSSSSSS HOLY FUCKING SHIT ITS HAPPENING IM SO EXCITED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Three major thoughts on this musical: 1. Footprints on the Sand is such a beautiful meditation on legacy. 2. For the Rest of My Life is a brave and powerful humanisation of Moses. 3. Ramses is really hot.
I saw Prince of Egypt on closing day. It was a matinee performance but it rightly received a standing ovation. It was beautifully staged and incredibly well sung. The cast were in tears to see the matinee crowd on their feet.
People are honestly sleeping on this Musical. I was sceptical going in as they have changed a few things (Playing with the Big Boys Now is now a musical rift rather than a song) but I was BLOWN AWAY. It's very minimalist but is still breath taking in it's design. The cast were incredible and 'Deliver us', 'Footprints on the Sands' and (of course) 'When You Believe' gave me actual chills to the point I had to put my coat back on!. The Circle was almost empty when I went so I implore you to see it. It's a cheaper musical (I paid £20ish for seats with a great view), the staff at the Dominion are so friendly and are very Covid Cautious if you're worried about that. SEE. THIS. MUSICAL.
Christine is what I cal a tone monster. I don’t care what she sings, I’m always gonna be in love because of that killer tone. It’s so warm and full and has range!
This just popped up in my feed a year later after it’s been posted I am from USA & a huge Prince of Egypt fan. I have been following the west end musical on social media but for some reason I didn’t know this video existed. I am SO happy to finally be able to see some of the songs I’ve listened to on the cast album for several years. These performances are incredible! And Christine Allado? Heck yes, she slayed it! This play and movie is so underrated!
Had the west end soundtrack on repeat during the pandemic and this is going to be the closest I see the performance! 😭 I’m grateful! There can be miracles~~ 🎤🎶🎶
I only saw it in the cinema as a live recording but even then, so many goosebumps and I cried. It’s my fav musical and I can’t stop listening to it it so good. The original movie is slightly better but they bring different qualities with one being animated and the other being live. I love love love both and I would definitely recommend watching either. It’s fantastic
I wish I'd seen this. We're singing some songs from this in our next stage school show and I'm so excited. One of my favourite movies. Absolute masterpiece.
If you can get the chance to see this before it goes off in London in January do so, this was my favourite movie as a kid and the musical did a wonderful job. Was so nervous it would be rubbish but it’s amazing
This show genuinely changed me upon seeing it live, I'm going to try and see it 2 more times before it leaves the West End, even though I want nothing more than this to have permanent residency at a theater
The show is so spectacular with a massive cast. Get to see it now before the tourists return and make getting a ticket impossible ! The best show to ever grace the Dominion stage ! My top 3 ; 1. Prince of Egypt 2. Elf 3. Time Loads of offers on the shows own site !!!
@@patseymour3173 you will love it. Like Time it wraps around the theatre in a thrilling immersive way ! Tells the story in a unique and beautiful way. The Dominion is the best theatre for big musicals in my opinion. Great views from every seat.
@@99LordRock Saw the show last Thursday and thought it was fab-very cleverly done. Shame it’s closing in January-this pandemic has a lot to answer for!
Wow wow wow!! Watching from NYC with tears in my eyes from your MAGNIFICENT performances!! I watched the videos before our world shut down and now I am so happy to see you performing!! I wish to come to West End just to see this show 😊Hopefully some day soon 😊Thank you to all involved in this beautiful show! I remember seeing the animated movie in the theater with my sons and just loving everything about it, most especially the beautiful music!!! God’s blessings to all of you and in “Broadway speak,” break a leg! 👏👏👏👏👏
Please PLEASE PLEASE for the Love of GOD...bring this musical to the United States!!!!! I BEG OF YOU!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!! I am dying to see this since I won't make it to London anytime soon to see it. It plays in the West End until January 8th. I WON'T STOP UNTIL IT COMES TO THE STATES AND IT HAPPENS!!!!! I will call all the Chicago Theaters to make it happen. Don't forget us across the pond LONDENERS!!!!!
Sam loved your Frozen review 😍 it helped me when I went to see it this week. Enjoy Prince of Egypt. It's huge and heart warming with a great story, songs and cast ! Aren't we lucky in the West End right now 🙂 so many amazing shows.
@mollycblaeser I did say "apart from playing with the big boys" 😅. To be honest I'm glad it wasn't there as its my least favourite and i think an extra character in the show would have made it too crowded.
I had tickets to see them three months after their original opening date.... AND THEB WE ALL GOT SCREWED BY COVID. I moved back to the states cause of work and missed out completely. I was so excited for it for months and months
i watched the prince of egypt in theatre i think it was the best show i was suprised when the kiss scene came up first time seeing it in a theatre show
I saw this last night, and I personally l o v e d it. I always had a problem with how the original didn't humanise and just villainised the Egyptians, but understood bc it's obviously from the bible. Seeing that the musical made the Egyptians more sympathetic was really great to see!
I’ve never seen the show as I live in Canadian exile, but the cast album is one of the most played albums on my Apple Music. Just behind Hamilton, Joseph and his Technicolored Dreamcoat (Broadway 70’s), Les Mis (several different ones), and Rent (movie soundtrack). I never see anyone mention The Plagues though. It’s so good, and I always imagine it would be a cool performance. One Weak Link although short is also very good- though I enjoy the high priest’s (Hotep?) sinister prodding in the One Weak Link verse in the finale. “There is still time to catch them”…”This is what you came you here for”.
Watching from San Francisco I love that the UK does this for the people . They should do it the US Wonderful. I’m a huge Anglophile and musical theater obsessive . I hope you know how special it is that your government makes it happen
I really need to learn the proper pronunciation for the Hebrew part, I feel like I sing it wrong every time because I don’t speak that language so I don’t know if I read the words right and hearing it sung instead of spoken regularly could mess with how I perceive the pronunciation
PoE was just okay in my opinion. I think it will need a lot of work to last and stand with the best. Important parts of the story are confusing and glossed over. The change of the ending ( between Moses and Rameses) was utterly ridiculous and made no sense. The use of the dancers in some parts was great (the river) and looked ridiculous in others (the chariot race). The costumes also looked plasticy and inauthentic. I really think it needs a bigger budget to stick around. Hopefully, it will improve over the years.
@@pandate2036 I don't know if it is fair to post spoilers so I will hit the return key a few times and hope it gets hidden. SPOILER ALERT: As Moses parts the red sea and prepares to leave Rameses arrives as he does in the original but the two make up and become friends before he leaves, which makes no sense. Moses was indirectly responsible for the death of his son and the destruction of the temples from the plagues. The dynasty handed to him by Seti is effectively gone and he became what he always feared: the weak link in the chain. You'll remember at the end of the animation he is left screaming in anger alone and isolated on a rock? Well, that was quite fitting considering what happened. It makes no sense for them to be so buddy buddy and friendly.
@@AmandaHoranGoBookYourself oh yeah I'm definitely with you on that. Even if you don't consider the individual conflict between the two, he ordered the Egyptians to chase the Jews into the Red Sea in the hopes of destroying a people. Also, smart idea with the paragraphs to hide the spoiler!
That's wild and completely messes up the entire story. Also agreed, the costumes look like a higher budget high school production, which is to say acceptable but surprising for a show like this. And adding to the spoilers bit: 1. Changing the end to having them make up is not biblically accurate. Regardless of whether you believe in it or not, going back to the text that the story is based on it does not fit. The story is about the two brothers but it is not a redemption story for the Pharoah and it is not a reunion story for the brothers.
@@kl-1447 yeah I don't understand how you can change it to that. Especially when you have such a basic, and well known base for the story like the old testament. I can understand small changes, but something as significant as that, is frankly ridiculous, at least from a Jewish perspective

Edit: YESSSSSSSSSSSS HOLY FUCKING SHIT ITS HAPPENING IM SO EXCITED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Please!!! Yes!! Let’s make a petition. I’m in the U.S. so an opportunity to see this musical is very hard!
Oh I agree 100%! I grew up with this movie and it was my childhood and it definitely helped me in the times of need! 🧡💙
Yesss please!!!!!
Yes!!!
So so so true. Please DVD for The Prince of Egypt 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Three major thoughts on this musical:
1. Footprints on the Sand is such a beautiful meditation on legacy.
2. For the Rest of My Life is a brave and powerful humanisation of Moses.

He sure is HOT!
Both brothers are hot

It was absolutely fantastic! I need to see it again before it leaves the West End.
*big, playing with the big boys now.
I loved it apart from making Rameses good in the end. Apparently expanding the empire with no slaves. Like wtf?
@@horatiohuskisson5471 It's based on history. Rameses was Egypt's greatest Pharaoh.
@@JavertRA Sources? Too bad that it’s not historically accurate that he was the pgharaoh at that time, though.
BRING THIS MUSICAL TO NORTH AMERICA ASAP! DELIVER US TO THE PROMISED MUSICAL!
The Ashira part always got me teary eyed. Loved it.
Hearing When You Believe during a pandemic hits different 🤧❤️
I truly loved this show. It’s so underrated
I agree, it's an incredible show! 😍
Please bring this musical to the states soon!!!
Amen! I agree wholeheartedly!
The note that Christine sings at 10:46 is uhh-maazing!
Christine is what I cal a tone monster. I don’t care what she sings, I’m always gonna be in love because of that killer tone. It’s so warm and full and has range!
Snaps to that child, i mean she's singing in front of all those people with no fear.
That’s what they’re getting paid for
@@astridgamez19 true that
@@astridgamez19true. But singing in a dark theatre is vastly different than singing to a live crowd you can actually see.
@@mollycblaeseryou can see the entire audience even in a dark theatre

4:50 was felt so much 😢 still wishing i get to see this musical in person
When u believe always hits me hard!!!!!! The power behind that song
I saw this show yesterday. Breathtaking. Quite simply the best live production I have seen.
This is one of my favourite shows ever. DreamWorks really know how to make a musical, first Shrek now this.
Had the west end soundtrack on repeat during the pandemic and this is going to be the closest I see the performance! 😭 I’m grateful! There can be miracles~~ 🎤🎶🎶
Digital release of the full show incoming!
Love Christine Allado 😍 amazing performance by all!

Heart touching!! I cried my eyes out the entire performance!! What a brilliant brilliant cast! Superb! You must see this!! ♥️
Saw the show on Saturday ! It was incredible! I'm obsessed !!!
Wow by the end of that performance I was in tears, so stunning 😍
I think Make It Right is really powerful and a true gem from the musical.
By far the best performance. Absolutly amazing
10:01 one of my favorite song 🎶 from the prince of Egypt.
I wish I'd seen this. We're singing some songs from this in our next stage school show and I'm so excited. One of my favourite movies. Absolute masterpiece.
This show will blow your mind! It is amazing from the songs to performance to staging. Highly recommended!
They did a great job with the musical ❤
If you can get the chance to see this before it goes off in London in January do so, this was my favourite movie as a kid and the musical did a wonderful job. Was so nervous it would be rubbish but it’s amazing
This show has some of my all-time favorite music. And I'm in love with Luke Brady.
He's so hot.
One of the best shows I have seen - and I went to see it twice!!! Love the soundtrack, love the cast.
This show genuinely changed me upon seeing it live, I'm going to try and see it 2 more times before it leaves the West End, even though I want nothing more than this to have permanent residency at a theater
Went twice already… blown away
I have just come from seeing this show. It is one if the best shows I have ever seen, Everything about it is perfect
Oh I love the songs and the music! ❤️😍❤️
Theatre is bacccckkkkk!!!!
The show is so spectacular with a massive cast. Get to see it now before the tourists return and make getting a ticket impossible ! The best show to ever grace the Dominion stage ! My top 3 ; 1. Prince of Egypt 2. Elf 3. Time

I saw it with half audience the cast are fabulous and the staff at the theatre really looked after everyone,
They need some tourists to keep going I feel. I truly loved this show but Tickets sales seem to be meh and it’s not looking good tbh
@@99LordRock Saw the show last Thursday and thought it was fab-very cleverly done. Shame it’s closing in January-this pandemic has a lot to answer for!

it is greatly sung, but i miss the old movie songs! THOSE were epic!
Are they not in the musical?
@@mikesteele05 As far as I'm aware, all the main songs (apart from playing with the big boys) are in the stage musical.
@@pandorah630not "Playing with the Big Boys" tho?! Dang, that would have been a great song for some stage illusions!

@@pandorah630 sorry, I was reiterating what you said.
Saw it last week and front row was empty so just sat there instead. Defo see it before the tourists come back.
Saw the show 2 weeks ago and it was amazing. The 2 leads were equally great. Go see it if you have the opportunity.
Can't sleep on the ensemble tho they were incredible
I had tickets to see them three months after their original opening date.... AND THEB WE ALL GOT SCREWED BY COVID. I moved back to the states cause of work and missed out completely. I was so excited for it for months and months
Wow. Glad you can get to the theatre again. This performance rocks big time. Yay!
I loved the musical! You need to do a live action movie too!
Now that would be fun to see a live action of this
please record the original west end cast for those of us who can’t see it live 😭
i watched the prince of egypt in theatre i think it was the best show i was suprised when the kiss scene came up first time seeing it in a theatre show

What! I had no idea this was on the west end and now the run is over. Please bring this back 🙏
first show I watched at the west end, and I had to see it again on my own. Hope it comes back to the west end soon ❤
You know about the proshot right
Chills!
Watching from San Francisco I love that the UK does this for the people . They should do it the US
Wonderful. I’m a huge Anglophile and musical theater obsessive . I hope you know how special it is that your government makes it happen
I really really wish Broadway would do this
The musical is so awesome
Excellent show
I saw the show yesterday and was amazing!!!
Amazing 😍
Bravo! They were amazing! Please come to the US! 🧡💙
I love this song
Been listening to their album in Tidal. I fell hard for this. Damn.
beautiful!! Like to see that LIVE! :_)
Make It Right 😭
Bring this bad boy to Broadway.
Wish I could go see it!
I'm dead, it's perfect
GOOSEBUMPS! 💕💗
I love this so so much ! I wish to see it one day soon
I am hoping I get to watch this ❤❤❤❤
To God be the Glory
I will watch this live SOON. 💜🇵🇭
I was crying
WOW
I will make it right is such a good song :,)
I want the Prince of Egypt musical for US
Love this song and can't wait to see the show. Shame I kept getting distracted by the poor wig work 😪
Show Wigs are to be seen from a distance in a theatre dear.
本当に素晴らしい

someone typed them in the comment section for the prince of Egypt the musical Through Heavens Eyes video. I found it helpful myself.
This Moses was on Fleabag, season 1. They met on the bus!
Loooool
Ok, who really needed that Tzipporah song???
It brakes so my heart to see Moses and remeses break up I mean seriously they were brothers
This was an amazing show. It’s such a shame it closed.
❤❤❤
This show is criminally underrated! I’m obsessed with the vocals, choreography, everything! Vlog on my channel!😉😂
in what language is this concert of the musical
Is that the guy who got unfairly eliminated on The Voice UK?
Yep Liam Tamne, still not over that elimination years on 😂
@@lornasaunders8600 damn that was some foul strategy by Will
is any of the music from the movie used?
